Intro: |D |G |D |G/A |
G/AD Did you see our brother AsusA He was here the other day F#mBmEm But he only came to say that he was leaving AD Did you see his lady AsusA She was looking where he'd gone F#mBmEm But she wasn't letting on that she was grieving AD She's bound to go GAD Perhaps she'll find him waiting for his boat in some city far away AGD/F#EmD She's bound to go
AsusDAsusA Lately I remember afternoons of smoke and wine F#mBmEm There was nothing we could find but peace and pleasure AD And with a smile he told me AsusAF#mBmEm That he wanted just to be on his way across the sea no man can measure AD He won't be back, GAD And the sun may find him sleeping in the dust of some ruin far away AGD/F#EmD He won't be back
GD Early today as I watched while the skyline was shaking Asus I heard a rumbling GD Early today the mechanical city was waking Asus And I ran out stumbling, mumbling AsusDA Out through the laughter of children and dogs
AD Did you see our brother AsusA He was here the other day F#mBmEm But he only came to say that he can't breathe here AD Did you see his lady AsusA She was reaching for his hand F#mBmEm Just as if to tell her man that she can't either AD They're bound to go GAD And the sun may find me running after them, seeing something far away AGD/F#EmDGD We won't be back
Someone who had been away Suddenly came back today and I allowed a hope to stray into my mind For a moment face to face We looked back upon the place Where long ago he went to chase our careless time Oh, what do you know Not what I've been feeling The past is healing so slow My tomorrow Gone from sorrow
