Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

When last I spoke to Carol I said:

 "I can't pretend it gets easier."

She said:

 I've hung on, I have edged along this narrow ledge since the day I

 was born in 1975."

Laa-lala-laa

Lala-la-la

When last I spoke to Carol I said:

 "I can't pretend I feel love for you."

She said:

 "I've hammered a smile across this pasty face of mine since the day I

 Was born in 1975."

When I said goodbye to Carol

 Black earth upon the casket fell

She had faded to

 Something I always knew

 To the rescue

 Nobody ever comes.

Oooo-oooo-ooo-ooooh

Oooo-oooo-ooo-ooooh
