    G
You fold his hands and smooth his tie
You gently lift his chin
         Cadd2
Were you really so blind
And unkind to him?
      Em9
Can't help the itch to touch, to kiss
To hold him once again
       F6/9
Now to close his eyes
      Am11 Csus2
Never open them

  G7(no3)    C/G   Cm/G         G
A shadow passed, a shadow passed
Cm6/G  G  C/G  G 
Yearning, yearning
A7              Cmaj9
For the fool it called a home

G                           Cadd2
All things he never did are left behind
                   Em9
All the things his mama wished he'd bear in mind
    F6/9
And all his dad had hoped he'd know

Am11 Cadd2 F6/9
Oh...

(Same as verse)
The talks you never had
The Saturdays you never spent
All the grown-up places
You never went

And all of the crying
You wouldn't understand
You just let him cry
Make a man out of him

A shadow passed, a shadow passed
Yearning, yearning
For the fool it called a home

All things he ever wished are left behind
All the things his mama did to make him mind
And how his dad had hoped he'd grow

All things he ever lived are left behind
All the fears that ever flickered through his mind
All the sadness that he'd come to own

A shadow past, a shadow past
Yearning, yearning
For the fool it called a home

Csus2  A7                                Cmaj9    
And it whistles through the ghosts still left behind
It whistles through the ghosts still left behind
   Em13
It whistles through the ghosts still left behind
