Intro : A G Dm

A Gm throughout the whole song

A (x02220@1)	      GmAs (355333@1)the sun shines down on the land
       A (x02220@1)          GmSo (355333@1)her heart is crying for love
	     ABut (x02220@1)there is no-one there
	  GmNo-one (355333@1)to hear her voice
	     A (x02220@1)   GmAnd (355333@1)she will sleep alone again tonight

A (x02220@1)    GmNow (355333@1)the moon is high in the sky
       A (x02220@1)        GmIn (355333@1)her room, she calls out his name
	  ABut (x02220@1)he is somewhere else
	      GmSomewhere (355333@1)she cannot see
	   AOh (x02220@1)and the night is dark between them now
   GmMy (355333@1)God, my God, why did he go away?

A (x02220@1)    GmNow (355333@1)the sun shines on a new town
       A (x02220@1)      GmWith (355333@1)a smile, he gets off the train
	    AHe (x02220@1)lights a cigarette
	      GmLeans (355333@1)back to see the sky
	   AOh, (x02220@1)and he thinks how much better off he is
    Gmwithout (355333@1)her hanging round

(Let's do it now.)

Whistle Riff

B ---6-5---5-6-5-6-5-5-3---3-5-3-5-3---|

The day is passing by him
And he has nowhere to stay
At a lonely bar-room table
His mind goes back to yesterday
To the girl who's dead and buried
But her face lives in his eyes
He must forget that face forever,
Make the future start tonight

(Again.)

But the meal he eats is dead flesh
There is cancer in his cigarettes
And the drinks won't do a thing for him
But revive some stupid memories
Then a hairstyle that reminds him
Makes him run into the night
Where the moon hangs high above him now
The same moon that she's praying on tonight

But the wind catches her words
And the moon swallows them whole...

Now the moon is high in the sky
In her room she calls out his name
The night is cold and dark
And she is all alone
The bed is empty now
Her body screams for love
She wants to be with him
Oh, but he's so far away
Oh, and the night is dark between them now
My God, my God, why did he go away?
