Gm   Eb Eb4 Ab  Bb G
Lady time      fly away
Cm   Eb   Dm  Dm/A  Bb      C     Am   Gm  C  F
I've been thinking 'bout my yesterday
    F             C          G        Dm
Oh, please listen darlin' to my empty prayers
Am      C              Dm
Sleep inside my dreams tonight
Am    C       Dm               Am         Gm    Dm
All I need to know tonight are you and my child

    F       C          G       Dm
Oh, is he a soldier or is he a dreamer?
Am    C             Dm
Is he mama's little man?
Am           C           Dm
Does he help you when he can?
Am         Gm        Dm
Or does he ask about me?

F           C                  G            Dm
Just like a soldier boy I been out fighting wars
Am             C     Dm
That the world never knows about
Am    C     Dm
But I never win them loud
Am                Gm     Dm
There's no crowds around me

F                 C         G            Dm
But when I get to thinkin' about the old days
Am            C       Dm
When love was here to stay
Am          C    Dm
I wonder if we'd ever tried
Am           Gm      Dm   C   Dm
Oh, what I'd give to hold him
