Chords with lyrics

E MajorE            G# minorG#m
The wind blows the ashes of summer,
  F# minorF#m               E MajorE   D MajorD   A augmentedA
and pulls the tar paper face on the hooding
  E MajorE          G# minorG#m
the marmalade cat, with dark mangled ears
F# minorF#m               E MajorE
slips through the fence without speaking
      F# minorF#m
this is my world and home
A augmentedA                        E MajorE
football and marbles and coming home late if you dare

E MajorE               G# minorG#m
I    look at the face in the mirror,
 F# minorF#m                  E MajorE  D MajorD   A augmentedA
I know it so well, but I don?t know at all
    E MajorE             G# minorG#m
and the child books are weary, and fade on the shelves
   F# minorF#m              E MajorE
with things that were precious now dusty
      F# minorF#m
this is my yesterday
    A augmentedA               E MajorE
and the friends that I knew, have all gone

BB
now
  A augmentedA
and now
E MajorE               F#F#
now           is the time
    E MajorE  D MajorD  A augmentedA   E MajorE
for the leavin?

   E MajorE           G# minorG#m
in a corner she sits, by the fire
  F# minorF#m              E MajorE  D MajorD   A augmentedA
she seeks the words that somehow elude her
    E MajorE         G# minorG#m
and the yesterday face, a picture with moustache
   F# minorF#m             E MajorE
looks down to the ground from the mantelpiece
      F# minorF#m
this is my world alone
  A augmentedA                         E MajorE
the blue cotton dress and the man on the cross on the wall

   E MajorE            G# minorG#m
then why must you go, are the words that she?s found
      F# minorF#m           E MajorE  D MajorD   A augmentedA
there?s a job in the paper, that?s firm
   E MajorE          G# minorG#m
five minutes from home and the pay is real good
    F# minorF#m             E MajorE
and the prospects get better, they say
     F# minorF#m
how can I tell you now
   A augmentedA              E MajorE
good bye    must be all I can say

  BB
and now
  A augmentedA
and now
E MajorE               F#F#
now           is the time
    E MajorE
for the leavin?
  BB
and now
  A augmentedA
and now
E MajorE               F#F#
now           is the time
    E MajorE  D MajorD  A augmentedA  E MajorE
for the leavin?
    E MajorE  D MajorD  A augmentedA  E MajorE
(repeat to fade)
