     C#m    Ebm     B       Abm        C#m     Ebm   B   Abm
On a bright day she passed away in the morning
       C#m   Ebm    B         Abm         C#m     Ebm   B   Abm
It's a cruel way to take her away with no warning
C#m Ebm     B              Abm   C#m      Ebm     B    Abm
He  took her hands through every midnight hour
         C#m Ebm B       Abm        C#m            Ebm    B    Abm
And they saw her fading away like a spring shower


A              B            C#m
I can see a complete life's time
E                       B         C#m
Pictures and posters of times and fashion
A                      B         C#m
Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme
E               B        C#m
Taken away in a crime of passion


C#m Ebm     B         Abm             C#m          Ebm   B   Abm
He  stood to see if he could catch her breathing
           C#m Ebm      B     Abm          C#m      Ebm   B    Abm
But it was no  good, he understood she was leaving
C#m Ebm       B        Abm    C#m    Ebm      B   Abm
He  looked outside the frosty window pane
            C#m Ebm B       Abm          C#m        Ebm   B   Abm
And then he saw her moving away with his ? chain


A              B            C#m
I can see a complete life's time
E                       B         C#m
Pictures and posters of times and fashion
A                      B         C#m
Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme
E               B        C#m
Taken away in a crime of passion


C#m Ebm B          Abm           C#m           Ebm   B    Abm
I   see freedom in sight, it's a long climb
        C#m   Ebm      B      Abm         C#m      Ebm   B   Abm
But she would not give up the fight for a long time
C#m   Ebm   B        Abm     C#m  Ebm      B   Abm
And I see a light go shining into night
          C#m Ebm      B             Abm             C#m          Ebm B Abm
Baby it's all right we couldn't have changed it with second sight


A              B            C#m
I can see a complete life's time
E                       B         C#m
Pictures and posters of times and fashion
A                      B         C#m
Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme
E               B        C#m
Taken away in a crime of passion

F#
I see freedom glittering in the night
F#                                  E      B
I see freedom but she wouldn't give up the fight
