Audrey

E                                     B
Audrey was a girl that sat in my classroom
                 C#m                             A
she never said a word she just sat there so furtively
  E                                   B
I never noticed her until I heard the radio
         C#m        A
telling about the way she took her life
   E                                  B
today it's all upon the covers of the papers
                   C#m               A
about her folks at home I guess her daddy is a drinker
     E                          B
her mummy left her when she was just a tiny child
        C#m                   A                  B
tell my Audrey was that the first time you felt abandonment


E             B
Hold on baby don't be sorry
             C#m          A
cause every day has it's up's and downs
E             B
Hold on baby they'll be sunshine
C#m                   A
every life has it's stormy nights

Come to think about it there are some things

I can recall about her arms they had blue spots on them

I remember then thinking these thoughts to myself

Is it wrong to wonder about somebody else's problems

I'm not burdened with at all

Hold on baby don't be sorry

cause every day has it's up's and downs

Hold on baby they'll be sunshine

every life has it's stormy nights


   E                                              C#m
Oh there there she lays down in the button of the river
             E                                                 C#m
tell me what crime did it take that tore this girls only willingnes
           B                             A
but I will pray that someday she'll rise again

Well if you're up their I hope you can see my sorrow and the pain of guilt

I never asked you how you were

But one thing I can assure you after wittnessing

what has been done I will open my heart to the new girl that sits next door


D            A
Hold on baby don't be sorry
       Bm                G
cause every day has it's up's and downs
D             A
Hold on baby they'll be sunshine
Bm                   G
every life has it's stormy nights

Hold on baby don't be sorry
cause every day has it's up's and downs
Hold on baby they'll be sunshine in your life
