VERSE 1
Steady tempo
12/8 time

    G
You fold his hands, and smooth his tie, you gently lift his chin.
         Cadd9
Were you really so blind and unkind to him?
      Em/F#
Can't help the itch to touch, to kiss, to hold him once again.
        Fadd9                 Am/D Csus2
Now, to close his eyes; never open them.


BRIDGE 1

  G7(no3)  C       Cm       G
A shadow passed, a shadow passed,
Cm6  G    C    G   A7
Yearning, yearning for the fool
   Cadd9
It called a home.


CHORUS 1

G                           Cadd9
All things he never did are left behind;
                   Em/F#
All the things his mama wished he'd bear in mind,
    Fadd9            Am/D       Csus2
And all his dad ever hoped he'd know.

Am/D       Cadd9 Fadd9
Ohhh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...


VERSE 2

    G
The talks you never had, the Saturdays you never spent,
        Cadd9
All the "grown up places" you never went;
    Em/F#
And all of the crying you wouldn't understand,
         Fadd9                Am/D       C5
You just let him cry: "Make a man out of him."


BRIDGE 2

  G7(no3)  C       Cm       G
A shadow passed, a shadow passed,
Cm6  G    C    G   A7
Yearning, yearning for the fool
   Cadd9
It called a home.


CHORUS 2

Gadd9                       Cadd9
All things he never did are left behind;
                   Em/A
All the things his mama did to make him mind
    Fadd9           Am/D       Csus2
And how his dad had hoped he'd grow.


CHORUS 3

Gadd9                        Cadd9
All things he ever lived are left behind;
                   Em/A
All the fears that ever flickered through his mind;
        Fadd9             Am/D    Csus2
All the sadness that he'd come to own.


MIDDLE 6

Am/D       Cadd9 Fadd9
Ohhh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
Am/D       Cadd9 Fadd9
Ohhh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
Am/D        Cadd9 Fadd9
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...


BRIDGE 3

  G7(no3)  C       Cm       G
A shadow passed, a shadow passed,
Cm6  G    C    G   A7
Yearning, yearning for the fool
   Cadd9
It called a home.


OUTRO

Csus2         A7                                Cadd9
      And it whistles through the ghosts still left behind.
   A7                                Cadd9
It whistles through the ghosts still left behind.
   Em/C#
It whistles through the ghosts still left behind. Ohhhh-ohhh....
