A minorAm
Verse:
A minorAm
They sit and wait
DmDm E MajorE
Waiting for the light to fade away
A minorAm
Perhaps to rise another day to sit and wait
DmDm FF G+G
Another month, another year and still be here
C majorC E MajorE
The same old place, the same old chair
FF
Every day is much the same
E MajorE
It only changes name
A minorAm
They sit and wait

Verse:
N.C. A minorAm
There was a time
DmDm E MajorE
When hope was in their hearts and drove them on
A minorAm
There was a time to carry on, this was their time
DmDm FF G+G
For they were young and unafraid and plans were made
C majorC E MajorE
Before the flowers came to fade
FF
But those days have passed away
E MajorE
And they just look at you and say
A minorAm
There was a time
Instrumental:
A minorAm FF E MajorE A minorAm FF E MajorE
Verse:
N.C. A minorAm
Oh, how they danced
DmDm E MajorE
They all remember clear, how they danced
A minorAm
They danced with ribbons in their hair, and how they sang
DmDm FF G+G
When wedding bells were rung and sung again
C majorC E MajorE
For they were busy being young
FF
When they close their eyes it seems
E MajorE
They're still dancing in their dreams
A minorAm
And how they danced
FF E MajorE A minorAm
How they danced
