C#m (x13321@4)          BLooked (x2444x@1)into an angel's smile,

C#m (x13321@4)             AFrom (x02220@1)the hair and clothes she wore,

    A (x02220@1)              Dand (xx0232@1)posed the pretty photograph?
E (022100@1)                BSave (x2444x@1)her flowering and fair,
    A (x02220@1)               Dthe (xx0232@1)days to come, the days to share.

C#m (x13321@4)           B (x2444x@1)  I found this photograph,
Astashed (x02220@1)between the old joist walls,
C#m (x13321@4)            Ain (x02220@1)a place where time is lost,
C#m (x13321@4)              Alost (x02220@1)behind, where all things fall.

C#m (x13321@4)            BBroken (x2444x@1)books and calendars,
Aletters (x02220@1)script in careful hand,
C#m (x13321@4)        Amusic (x02220@1)too, a standard tune by
C#m (x13321@4)          Asome (x02220@1)forgotten big brass band.


E (022100@1)                 BFrom (x2444x@1)the threshhold what's to see
Aof (x02220@1)our brave new century?
E (022100@1)              BThe (x2444x@1)television's just a dream,
Athe (x02220@1)radio, the silver screen.
E (022100@1)   B (x2444x@1)   D (xx0232@1)Dsus2A (xx0230@1)big smile for the camera,
A (x02220@1)         Dhow (xx0232@1)did she know?

E (022100@1)               BWas (x2444x@1)her childhood filled with rhymes,
A (x02220@1)           Dstolen (xx0232@1)hooks, impassioned crimes?
E (022100@1)         BWas (x2444x@1)she innocent or blind
A (x02220@1)            Dto (xx0232@1)the cruelty of her time?
E (022100@1)             BWas (x2444x@1)she fearful in her day,
A (x02220@1)              Dwas (xx0232@1)she hopeful, did she pray?
E (022100@1)             BWere (x2444x@1)there skeletons inside,
A (x02220@1)             Dfamily (xx0232@1)secrets, sworn to hide?
E (022100@1)              BDid (x2444x@1)she feel the heat that stirs,
A (x02220@1)                    Dthe (xx0232@1)fall from grace of wayward girls?
E (022100@1)             BWas (x2444x@1)she tempted to pretend,
A (x02220@1)                    Dthe (xx0232@1)love and laughter, 'til the end?
