Did you see our brother
       Asus (x02230@1)         A (x02220@1)      
He was here the other day
       F#m (244222@1)        Bm (x24432@1)            Em (022000@1)
But he only came to say that he was leaving
        A (x02220@1)        DDid (xx0232@1)you see his lady
        Asus (x02230@1)             AShe (x02220@1)was looking where he'd gone
        F#m (244222@1)          Bm (x24432@1)            Em (022000@1)    
But she wasn't letting on that she was grieving
A (x02220@1)            DShe's (xx0232@1)bound to go
  G (320003@1)                                   A (x02220@1)                    DPerhaps (xx0232@1)she'll find him waiting for his boat in some city far away
A (x02220@1)            G (320003@1)  D/F# (200232@1)  Em (022000@1)  DShe's (xx0232@1)bound to go

          F#m (244222@1)            Bm (x24432@1)               Em (022000@1)    
There was nothing we could find but peace and pleasure
A (x02220@1)                      DAnd (xx0232@1)with a smile he told me
        Asus (x02230@1)         A (x02220@1)       F#m (244222@1)          Bm (x24432@1)           Em (022000@1)That he wanted just to be on his way across the sea no man can measure
A (x02220@1)         DHe (xx0232@1)won't be back,
        G (320003@1)                              A (x02220@1)                    DAnd (xx0232@1)the sun may find him sleeping in the dust of some ruin far away
A (x02220@1)         G (320003@1)  D/F# (200232@1)  Em (022000@1)  DHe (xx0232@1)won't be back

Early today as I watched while the skyline was shaking
          AsusI (x02230@1)heard a rumbling
G (320003@1)                                 DEarly (xx0232@1)today the mechanical city was waking
              AsusAnd (x02230@1)I ran out stumbling, mumbling
Asus (x02230@1)                                            D (xx0232@1) AOut (x02220@1)through the laughter of children and dogs

A (x02220@1)             DDid (xx0232@1)you see our brother
       Asus (x02230@1)         AHe (x02220@1)was here the other day

        A (x02220@1)       DDid (xx0232@1)you see his lady
        Asus (x02230@1)           AShe (x02220@1)was reaching for his hand

A (x02220@1)              DThey're (xx0232@1)bound to go
        G (320003@1)                           A (x02220@1)                         DAnd (xx0232@1)the sun may find me running after them, seeing something far away
A (x02220@1)         G (320003@1)  D/F# (200232@1)  Em (022000@1)  D (xx0232@1)    G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1) 
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.
