For Absent Friends - Genesis

Intro: |A(picked note) D/AD/A   |E minorEm  D MajorD A augmentedA|

D MajorD     D/C#     D/C
Sunday at six when they close both the gates
D MajorD E minorEm D MajorD   E minorEm
A augmentedA wi dowed pair
D MajorD   E minorEm D MajorD  A7A7
Still sitting there,
G+G   E minorEm    A augmentedA    D MajorD
Wonder if theyre late for church
    D/C#     D/C
And its cold, so they fasten their coats
D MajorD  E minorEm  D MajorD  E minorEm   D MajorD   E minorEm D MajorD  A7A7
And cross the grass, theyre al ways last.

C majorC
Passing by the padlocked swings,
  F#sus4F#sus4 F#F#
The roundabout still turning,
 B7B7
Ahead they see a small girl
    E7E7       A7sus4A7sus4
On her way home with a pram.

Repeat Intro

D MajorD     D/C#
Inside the archway,
  D/C           D MajorD E minorEm  D MajorD  E minorEm
The priest greets them with a courteous nod.
D MajorD  E minorEm  D MajorD A7A7
Hes close to god.
G+G    E minorEm   A augmentedA    D MajorD        D/C#
Looking back at days of four instead of two.
D/C
Years seem so few (four instead of two).
D MajorD   E minorEm  D MajorD E minorEm
Heads bent in prayer
D MajorD  E minorEm   D MajorD  A7A7
For friends not there.

C majorC
Leaving twopence on the plate,
   F#sus4F#sus4 F#F#   F#sus4F#sus4 F#F#         B7B7
They hurry down the path   and through the gate

And wait to board the bus
   E7E7       A7sus4A7sus4
That ambles down the street.

Outro: Same as intro, ends on strummed D.
