(Chris Hillman/Rick Roberts)
From "The Flying Burrito Bros" album - 1971
{Verse 1}
D
All alone
A D A
She waits at the window
D
While the sun
A D A
Sets in the sea
Bm A
Is that the sound of his footsteps
G A
That echoes in the hall
Bm A
And then they fade away
G A
No it wasn't him after all
D
He was gone
A D A
In the early morning
D
And he said
A D A
He wouldn't be long
Bm A
But that was spring
G A
And now that the leaves have all turned brown
Bm A
She only shares her bed
G A
With the lonliness she has found
[Instrumental]
E Asus A E Asus A F G A A7
[Verse 2]
A D
Still she waits
A D A
Alone at the window
D
For the one
A D A
Who wandered away
Bm A
Each day the room grows colder
G A
Her tears grow harder to hold
Bm A
And still she saves her love
G A
For the day she knows he'll come home
[Instrumental]
D A D A D A D A
[Outro]
Bm A
Is that the sound of his footsteps
G A
That echoes in the hall
Bm A
And then they fade away
G A
No it wasn't him after all
