For Absent Friends - Genesis

Intro: |A(picked note) D/A |Em D A|

D D/C# D/C
Sunday at six when they close both the gates
D Em D Em
A wi dowed pair
D Em D A7
Still sitting there,
G Em A D
Wonder if theyre late for church
D/C# D/C
And its cold, so they fasten their coats
D Em D Em D Em D A7
And cross the grass, theyre al ways last.

C
Passing by the padlocked swings,
F#sus4 F#
The roundabout still turning,
B7
Ahead they see a small girl
E7 A7sus4
On her way home with a pram.

Repeat Intro

D D/C#
Inside the archway,
D/C D Em D Em
The priest greets them with a courteous nod.
D Em D A7
Hes close to god.
G Em A D D/C#
Looking back at days of four instead of two.
D/C
Years seem so few (four instead of two).
D Em D Em
Heads bent in prayer
D Em D A7
For friends not there.

C
Leaving twopence on the plate,
F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F# B7
They hurry down the path and through the gate

And wait to board the bus
E7 A7sus4
That ambles down the street.

Outro: Same as intro, ends on strummed D.
