INTRO -
Em Am Am7
I bought the paper yesterday
D G G/F#
And I saw the obituary
Em Am Am7
And I read of how you died in pain
D G G/F#
Well I just couldnīt understand it
Em Am Am7
If I could of changed that
D G G/F#
The Lord knows Iīd do it now
Em Am Am7
But there is no going back
D Gmaj7 G7
And whatīs done is done forever
Cmaj7
But you were always chained
D
And shackled by the dirt
FA#m7b5
Of every small town institution
B7
And every big town flirt
MIm LAm RE SOL SOL/FA#
Same pattern as first time round but with lyrics below
And I think of what you might have been
A man of such great promise
Oh but, you seem to forget the dream
And the more you saw you hated
But letīs not talk of blame
For what is only natural
Like a moth going to a flame
You had a dangerous passion
But you were always chained
And shackled by the dirt
Of every small town institution
And every big town flirt
Em Am Am7
All the things that you might have been
D G G/F#
But who am I to say?
Em
Still I wonder
Am D G G/F#
If itīs in the cold earth you prefer to lay
Em Am
Oh, If itīs in the cold earth
D G G/F#
You prefer to stay
Em
Am D G
