I recall 
  Bm        A      G 
A schoolboy coming home 
                  D 
Through fields of cane 
     Bm       A       G 
To a house of tin and timber 
 

           D 
And in the sky 
  Bm      A       G 
A rain of falling cinders 
     G       A 
From time to time 
    G 
The waste, memory wastes 
 
REPEAT MAIN RIFF  x2 
 
 
    D 
I recall 
  Bm     A      G 
A boy in bigger pants 
          D 
Like everyone 
     Bm      A     G 
Just waiting for a chance 
 

             D 
His father's watch 
   Bm      A      G 
He left it in the showers 
     G       A 
From time to time 
    G 
The waste, memory wastes 
        G 
And the waste, memory wastes 
 
REPEAT MAIN RIFF  x4 
 
 
    D 
I recall 
  Bm     A        G 
A bigger brighter world 
           D 
A world of books 
     Bm    A        G 
And silent times in thought 
 

             D 
And then the railroad 
    Bm       A         G 
The railroad takes him home 
                  D 
Through fields of cattle 
Bm      A         G 
Through fields of cane 
 

     G       A 
From time to time 
    G 
The waste, memory wastes 
        G 
And the waste, memory wastes
