Audrey
E B
Audrey was a girl that sat in my classroom
Cm# A
she never said a word she just sat there so furtively
E B
I never noticed her until I heard the radio
Cm# A
telling about the way she took her life
E B
today it's all upon the covers of the papers
Cm# A
about her folks at home I guess her daddy is a drinker
E B
her mummy left her when she was just a tiny child
Cm# A B
tell my Audrey was that the first time you felt abandonment
E B
Hold on baby don't be sorry
Cm# A
cause every day has it's up's and downs
E B
Hold on baby they'll be sunshine
Cm# A
every life has it's stormy nights
Come to think about it there are some things
I can recall about her arms they had blue spots on them
I remember then thinking these thoughts to myself
Is it wrong to wonder about somebody else's problems
I'm not burdened with at all
Hold on baby don't be sorry
cause every day has it's up's and downs
Hold on baby they'll be sunshine
every life has it's stormy nights
E Cm#
Oh there there she lays down in the button of the river
E Cm#
tell me what crime did it take that tore this girls only willingnes
B A
but I will pray that someday she'll rise again
Well if you're up their I hope you can see my sorrow and the pain of guilt
I never asked you how you were
But one thing I can assure you after wittnessing
what has been done I will open my heart to the new girl that sits next door
D A
Hold on baby don't be sorry
Bm G
cause every day has it's up's and downs
D A
Hold on baby they'll be sunshine
Bm G
every life has it's stormy nights
Hold on baby don't be sorry
cause every day has it's up's and downs
Hold on baby they'll be sunshine in your life
