VERSE 1
********
F G C Am
It was Nineteen-sixty-four, we slept in beds down on the floor
F G C
But she really wanted more, she told me so
F G C Am
But my new guitar and me, we had so much we had to see
F G
So, I told her she was free to stay or go
---------------------
VERSE 2
********
F G C Am
'Cause I was just a rambling boy, music was my marvelous toy
F G C
I could play with so much joy at twenty-one
F G C Am
She was really my first love, she was wild, a flying dove
F G
But her needing flew above and she was gone
-----------------------
CHORUS
*******
F G C Am
Yes, she was gone while Tom and I rode hobo trains
Em F
And the journey she went on was through her veins
C Am
Needing time, needing space, she went to an empty place
F C G
Empty eyes, empty face, no trace behind
F G C Am Dm7 G
Because leaving was the first thing on her mind
---------------------
VERSE 3
********
F G C Am
There was Woody, there was Buddy, there was Ochs, and there was Huddie
F G C
There were chorus songs to study and to learn
F G C Am
Would I get it right, or wing it, could I write it down and sing it?
F G
Would the muse descend and bring it, then return?
---------------------
VERSE 4
********
F G C Am
Could I be the next Hoyt Axton, could I really sing Tom Paxton
F G C
With my new guitar all waxed I was so keen
F G C Am
I set out to find a way to live my life from day to day
F G
But I knew I had to stay forever clean
---------------------
CHORUS
*******
F G C Am
'Cause, she was gone while Tom and I rode hobo trains
Em F
And the journey she went on was through her veins
C Am
Needing time, needing space, she went to an empty place
F C G
Empty eyes, empty face, no trace behind
F G Am
Because leaving was the first thing on her mind

CHORUS
*******
F G C Am
Yes, she was gone while Tom and I rode hobo trains
Em F
And the journey she went on was through her veins
C Am
Needing time, needing space, she went to an empty place
F C G
Empty eyes, empty face, no trace behind
F G C Am Dm7 G
Because leaving was the first thing on her mind
---------------------
CHORUS
*******
F G C Am
Yes, leaving was her pleasure and she left us all to measure
F G C
How each morning is a treasure without price
F G C Am
Now she's gone beyond the dawn, all her future days stillborn
F G
And I wonder who else mourns her sacrifice
