First tab, with love from Tom A.
Great song

        AAs (x02220@1)the dawn breaks
      C#m (x13321@4) 
Over roof slates
      D (xx0232@1)                   E7Hope (020130@1)hung on every washing line
Does your heart ache
Over life's fate 
I know we never had much time
For us to give 
We did
(not sure about this next line)

        A (x02220@1)         C#m (x13321@4)       D (xx0232@1)      E7As (020130@1)the light creeps over the houses
And the slates are darkened by the rain
In this morning search for meaning

           A (x02220@1)      Bm (x24432@1)  AI (x02220@1)hear a songbird's mel-o-dy
           A (x02220@1)      C#m (x13321@4) BmA (x24432@1)simple songbird's mel-o-dy

          A (x02220@1)    Bm (x24432@1)    AAnd (x02220@1)its singing just for me
          A (x02220@1)    C#m (x13321@4)   BmAnd (x24432@1)its singing just for me
          A (x02220@1)    Bm (x24432@1)    AAnd (x02220@1)its singing just for me
