"The Sand and the Foam" - Dan Fogelberg 

C5                    F5             G5 
Dawn, like an angel, lights on the step

A5                     D5  G5 
Muting the morning she heralds

C5                         F5               G5       
Dew on the grass like the tears the night wept

A5                       D5    G5 
Gone long before the day wears old

(xx0111)
F5             C5         D5             C5 
Time stills the singing a child holds so dear

    F5        C5          A5     D5
Amd I'm just beginning to hear

F5          C5            D5             C5  
Gone are the pathways the child followed home

F5              G5            C5
Gone, like the sand and the foam

C5 F5 C5 G5 F5   C5 F5 C5 G5 F5

C5                        F5         G5
Pressed in the pages of some aging past

A5                 D5     G5
Lies an old lily, crumbling

C5                    F5           G5
Marking a moment of childish respects

A5                        D5     G5
Long since betrayed and forgotten

(xx0111)
F5             C5         D5             C5 
Time stills the singing a child holds so dear

    F5        C5          A5     D5
Amd I'm just beginning to hear

F5          C5            D5             C5  
Gone are the pathways the child followed home

F5              G5            C5
Gone, like the sand and the foam

F5              G5        F5             G5     
Gone, like the sand... (gone like the sand)

F5              G5            F5     C5   D5   C5   F5  G5  C5 
Gone, like the sand and the fo----am
