|D |G |D |G/A |
G/A D
Did you see our brother
Asus A
He was here the other day
F#m Bm Em
But he only came to say that he was leaving
A D
Did you see his lady
Asus A
She was looking where he'd gone
F#m Bm Em
But she wasn't letting on that she was grieving
A D
She's bound to go
G A D
Perhaps she'll find him waiting for his boat in some city far away
A G D/F# Em D
She's bound to go

Asus D Asus A
Lately I remember afternoons of smoke and wine
F#m Bm Em
There was nothing we could find but peace and pleasure
A D
And with a smile he told me
Asus A F#m Bm Em
That he wanted just to be on his way across the sea no man can measure
A D
He won't be back,
G A D
And the sun may find him sleeping in the dust of some ruin far away
A G D/F# Em D
He won't be back
G D
Early today as I watched while the skyline was shaking
Asus
I heard a rumbling
G D
Early today the mechanical city was waking
Asus
And I ran out stumbling, mumbling
Asus D A
Out through the laughter of children and dogs
A D
Did you see our brother
Asus A
He was here the other day
F#m Bm Em
But he only came to say that he can't breathe here
A D
Did you see his lady
Asus A
She was reaching for his hand
F#m Bm Em
Just as if to tell her man that she can't either
A D
They're bound to go
G A D
And the sun may find me running after them, seeing something far away
A G D/F# Em D G D
We won't be back
.....Someone who had been away
.....Suddenly came back today
.....And I allowed him home today into my mind
.....For a moment face to face
.....Evil packed upon the place
.....Long ago he meant to stay out there this time
.....Oh, what do you know
.....The love that I've been feeling
.....The past is healing so slow
.....By tomorrow, gone from sorrow.
