I recall 
  B5        A5      G5 
A schoolboy coming home 
                  D5 
Through fields of cane 
     B5       A5       G5 
To a house of tin and timber 
 

           D5 
And in the sky 
  B5      A5       G5 
A rain of falling cinders 
     G5       A5 
From time to time 
    G5 
The waste, memory wastes 
 
REPEAT MAIN RIFF  x2 
 
 
    D5 
I recall 
  B5     A5      G5 
A boy in bigger pants 
          D5 
Like everyone 
     B5      A5     G5 
Just waiting for a chance 
 

             D5 
His father's watch 
   B5      A5      G5 
He left it in the showers 
     G5       A5 
From time to time 
    G5 
The waste, memory wastes 
        G5 
And the waste, memory wastes 
 
REPEAT MAIN RIFF  x4 
 
 
    D5 
I recall 
  B5     A5        G5 
A bigger brighter world 
           D5 
A world of books 
     B5    A5        G5 
And silent times in thought 
 

             D5 
And then the railroad 
    B5       A5         G5 
The railroad takes him home 
                  D5 
Through fields of cattle 
B5      A5         G5 
Through fields of cane 
 

     G5       A5 
From time to time 
    G5 
The waste, memory wastes 
        G5 
And the waste, memory wastes
