Lost Boys Calling
Capo I (Every chord is really a half-step higher than written)

*=single notes (no chord)

               C*
Come hold me now
         F*
I am not gone
G*			           C*
I would not leave you here alone
              F (133211@1)                AbIn (xx1114@1)this dead calm beneath the waves
	    Am7 (x02010@1)Am7/D (00001x@1)      GI (320003@1)can still hear those lost     boys calling

              CYou (x32010@1)could not speak
	    FYou (133211@1)were afraid
   G (320003@1)                    Ab*    Am7To (x02010@1)take the risk of being left again
           G (320003@1)            Am7 (x02010@1)     GAnd (320003@1)so you tipped your hat and waved and then
Dm (xx0231@1)                                   GYou (320003@1)turned back up the gangway of that steel tomb again

CHORUS (2x, 2nd time with "she holds" and "we")
       C (x32010@1)            FAnd (133211@1)in Mott Street in July
       Dm7                 G7When (320001@1)I hear those seabirds cry
  F (133211@1)      Em7        Am7 (x02010@1)        FI (133211@1)hold the child, the child in the man
    G7 (320001@1)          G/B (143121@7)   CThe (x32010@1)child that we leave behind

              CThe (x32010@1)spotlight fades
            FThe (133211@1)boys disband,
    G (320003@1)                           Cthe (x32010@1)final notes lie mute upon the sand
           F (133211@1)  Ab*
And in the silence of the grave
	      Am7 (x02010@1)    D/Am7     GI (320003@1)can still hear those lost boys calling

             CWe (x32010@1)left them there
               FWhen (133211@1)they were young
    G (320003@1)                               CThe (x32010@1)men  were gone until the west was won
		    F (133211@1)                      Ab*
And now there's nothing left but time to kill
          Am7 (x02010@1)   D/Am7
You never took us fishing dad
    GAnd (320003@1)now you never will

CHORUS I


Notes:
1. Not sure about the Ab as a single note, but I can't figure out a chord here. I tried 
F/Ab, but it didn't sound right. Any suggestions or corrections, please email the 
cowboy at yahoo. (Delete the spaces.)

2. Not sure about the G/B either.

3. I also had a bit of trouble with the "and so you tipped your hat and waved" line. I'm 
sure that what I have is correct, but would welcome suggestions.
