Intro A augmentedA Amaj7Amaj7 F# minorF#m A/EA/E D/ED/E (walk down to) A augmentedA E MajorE

   A augmentedA   Amaj7Amaj7  E minorEm     A7A7
With pen in hand you signed your name
Dmaj7Dmaj7  C# minorC#m     Bm7Bm7   E7E7
Today at five I`ll be on that train
  A augmentedA     E/G#   F#m7F#m7   C#m7C#m7 D/ED/E
And you`ll be free and I  will be  alone
  A/EA/E  E7E7
So alone

    A augmentedA       Amaj7Amaj7  E minorEm      A7A7
If you think we can`t find the love we once knew
    D MajorD       F# minorF#m    Bm7Bm7     D MajorD
If you think I can`t make everything up to you
   A augmentedA    E MajorE    F# minorF#m    C# minorC#m   E7E7  A/EA/E
Then I`ll be gone and you`ll be on your own
     E7E7     (Walk up)
You`ll be on your own

    A augmentedA     Amaj7Amaj7  E minor 7Em7  A7A7
Can you take good care of Johnny
    D MajorD      A augmentedA      Bm7Bm7 E MajorE
Can you take him to school everyday
    A augmentedA        Amaj7Amaj7
Can you teach him how to catch a fish
  F# minorF#m      E6E6   D MajorD        Bm7Bm7 E7E7
And keep all those bullies away hear what I say

    A augmentedA     Amaj7Amaj7 E minor 7Em7    A augmentedA
Can you teach him how to whistle a tune
    Dmaj7Dmaj7  F# minorF#m    Bm7Bm7    A augmentedA
Can you tell him about the man in the moon
      Amaj7Amaj7  E MajorE      F# minorF#m  C#m7C#m7   D/ED/E
If you can do these things then maybe he won`t miss me
   E MajorE        (walk up)
Maybe he won`t miss me
  A augmentedA       E MajorE      E minor 7Em7    A augmentedA
And tonight as you lay in that big lonely bed
    D MajorD      F# minorF#m     B minorBm    A augmentedA
Can you look at the pillow where I laid my head
          E MajorE       F# minorF#m    C# minorC#m
With your heart on fire will you have no desire
  D/ED/E      E MajorE    (Walk down)
To kiss me and to hold me

    A augmentedA    E MajorE     E minor 7Em7      A augmentedA  (walk up)
And if you can forget the good times we had
    D MajorD       F# minorF#m       Bm7Bm7     A/EA/E
If you think that the good times won`t outweigh the bad
E MajorE  A augmentedA     E MajorE    F#m7F#m7  E6E6  D/ED/E
Then sign your name and I`ll be on my way
    A/EA/E    E7E7 (walk Down) A augmentedA
