Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 On a bright day she passed away in the morning

 It's a cruel way to take her away with no warning

He took her hands through every midnight hour

 And they saw her fading away like a spring shower

I can see a complete life's time

Pictures and posters of times and fashion

Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme

Taken away in a crime of passion

He stood to see if he could catch her breathing

 But it was no good, he understood she was leaving

He looked outside the frosty window pane

 And then he saw her moving away with his ? chain

I can see a complete life's time

Pictures and posters of times and fashion

Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme

Taken away in a crime of passion

I see freedom in sight, it's a long climb

 But she would not give up the fight for a long time

And I see a light go shining into night

 Baby it's all right we couldn't have changed it with second sight

I can see a complete life's time

Pictures and posters of times and fashion

Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme

Taken away in a crime of passion

I see freedom glittering in the night

I see freedom but she wouldn't give up the fight

Solo

And I see a light go shining into night

 Baby it's all right we couldn't have changed it with second sight

And I see a light go shining into night

 Baby it's all right we couldn't have changed it with second sight
