C#m Ebm B G#m C#m Ebm B G#m
On a bright day she passed away in the morning
C#m Ebm B G#m C#m Ebm B G#m
It's a cruel way to take her away with no warning
C#m Ebm B G#m C#m Ebm B G#m
He took her hands through every midnight hour
C#m Ebm B G#m C#m Ebm B G#m
And they saw her fading away like a spring shower
A B C#m
I can see a complete life's time
E B C#m
Pictures and posters of times and fashion
A B C#m
Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme
E B C#m
Taken away in a crime of passion
C#m Ebm B G#m C#m Ebm B G#m
He stood to see if he could catch her breathing
C#m Ebm B G#m C#m Ebm B G#m
But it was no good, he understood she was leaving
C#m Ebm B G#m C#m Ebm B G#m
He looked outside the frosty window pane
C#m Ebm B G#m C#m Ebm B G#m
And then he saw her moving away Elizabeth Jane
A B C#m
I can see a complete life's time
E B C#m
Pictures and posters of times and fashion
A B C#m
Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme
E B C#m
Taken away in a crime of passion
C#m Ebm B G#m C#m Ebm B G#m
I see freedom in sight, it's a long climb
C#m Ebm B G#m C#m Ebm B G#m
But she would not give up the fight for a long time
C#m Ebm B G#m C#m Ebm B G#m
And I see a light go shining into night
C#m Ebm B G#m C#m Ebm B G#m
Baby it's all right we couldn't have changed it with second sight
A B C#m
I can see a complete life's time
E B C#m
Pictures and posters of times and fashion
A B C#m
Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme
E B C#m
Taken away in a crime of passion
F#
I see freedom glittering in the night
F# E B
I see freedom but she wouldn't give up the fight
Solo
C#m Ebm B G#m C#m Ebm B G#m
And I see a light go shining into night
C#m Ebm B G#m C#m Ebm B G#m
Baby it's all right we couldn't have changed it with second sight
C#m Ebm B G#m C#m Ebm B G#m
And I see a light go shining into night
C#m Ebm B G#m C#m Ebm B G#m
Baby it's all right we couldn't have changed it with second sight
