play VERSE progression

    It was true that ever since the day
    Her crazy man had passed away
    To the land of poet's pride
    (FILL 1)
    She laughed and talked a lot
    With new people on the block
    But always at evening time she cried

VERSE 3 & 4

She moved her head a little down
On the bed until it rested
Softly on his knee
(FILL 1)
There, she dropped her smile
And there, she sighed a while
And told him all the sadness of those years
That numbered three

Well ya know I think my fates belated
'Cuz of all the hours I waited for
The day, when I'd no longer cry
(FILL 1)
Get myself to work by eight
But oh was I born too late
And doo you think Ill fail
At every single thing I try

CHORUS

(Play regular VERSE progression ONCE)
He just put his arm around her
And that's the way I found her
Eight months later to the day
(FILL 1)
Lines of a smile erased
The tear tracks upon her face
A smile that could linger, even stay

(Play BRIDGE Progression)
Sweet Sir Galahad went down
With his gay bride of flowers
The prince of the hours
Of her lifetime

CHORUS
