for absent friends Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Sun[C]day[G] at[Dm] six[F][Gsus4][F][G][C][G]
[C]when they clo[Bb]se both the[Bbsus2] gates[Am]
A [Dm]widowed pair,
Still sitting [G]there,
[Dm]Won [C]der [Dm]if they're la[G]te for ch[C]urch
And it's cold,
so they [Bb]fasten [Bbsus2]their coats[Am]
And cross the [Dm]grass,
they're always [G]last.

[Verse 2]
[Bb]Passing by the padlocked swings,
The [Esus4]round abo[E]ut still turning,
[A]Ahead they see a small girl
On her [D]way home with a [Gsus4]pram.
[Gm][G][C][G][Gsus4][F]

[Verse 3]
[G][C]
Inside the archway,
[Bbsus2]The priest greets them
[Am]with a [Dm]courteous nod.
He's close to [G]God.
Look[C]ing [Dm]back at [G]days of [C]four
instead of [Em]two.[C]
[Bb]Years seem so few
[Am](four instead of two).
Heads bent in [Dm]prayer
For friends not [G]there.

[Verse 4]
[Bb]Leaving twopence on the plate,
They [Esus4]hurry dow[E]n the path
and through the [A]gate
And wait to board the bus
That [D]ambles down the

[Outro 1]
street.
[Gsus4][G][C][G][Gsus4][G]
