Tabbed by:Alan C Brown.

Tuning:Standard with capo 5th fret.

My rhythm pattern is simplified so listen to the song to make it your own.  There 
are a few run downs and links to complete perhaps someone else can complete them.  The 
run downs are a little different to the Family version perhap two guitars are playing. 

Roger Chapman & Family.

   Then back to the beginning and repeat throughout........



Well i know that you're lonely, come in from the cold
You're shoes they need mending, you're clothes they look old
Won't you pick up you're pieces, it's never too late
Though it's never early to make a mistake
As soon as you wake

Although there's been rain and it's coming again
Change has to be here obviously
Though my friend the sun looks well on the run
He's there in the distance if you care to see

Well i know that your waiting, come out of you're shell
There'll come a time and you'll remember it well
When you take all the good times from chances you had
Chances you've made and what you've learnt from the bad
It's never so sad

Although there's been rain and it's coming again
Change has to bee here obviously
Though my friend the sun looks well on the run
He's there in the distance if you care to see...see

If the season were reason, then there'd be no doubt
A sequel of changes worth putting you out
But on the question of whether you heard a lie
Answer yourself looking straight in his eyes
Don't you realise

Although there's been rain and it's coming again
Change has to be here obviously
Though my friend the sun looks well on the run
He's there in the distance if you care to see....see.
