Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][D][A][D][A][D][A]
[F#m][Bm][Bsus4][A]

[Verse 1]
[D]Waking
up and finding she's not [A]there[D][A]
[D]Sleepy looking around to find
out [A]where [D]I am[A]
[F#m]Get out of bed,
go tripping down the stairs
[Bsus4]And befor[Bm]e you[Bsus4]
eat your break[Bm]fast
[A]Say your prayers

[Verse 2]
[A]
And the [D]early morning pigeons
fly [A]around[D][A]
Getting [D]startled on my lonely
footed [A]sound[D][A]
[F#m]And yesterday’s newspaper
is flying [Bm]too
Whirling down the wind that I [D]once knew

[Interlude 1]
[A][D][A][D]
[Asus4][A][D][A][D][A][F#m][Bm]
[Bsus4][Bm][A]

[Verse 3]
And the [D]red and yellow birds
come drifting [A]by[D][A]
Re[D]flecting in themselves
the windy [A]sky[D][A]
And you walk [F#m]along beside them
in a [Bsus4]dream[Bm]
And you wonder where they're going
And where they've [D]been
[A]

[Verse 4]
And [D]the river’s smiling bravely
Through [A]the rain[D][A]
Thinks [D]everything is really
just [A]the same[D][A]
And the rain [F#m]comes down
And wets the curly [Bm]hair
Of the children [Bsus4]playing w[Bm]here
Your memories [A]were

[Outro 1]
