Intro: Abmaj7 Ab6 Bbm Eb x2
[Abmaj7]A windy [Ab6]day, [Bbm]the cars in s[Eb]low formation
[Abmaj7]Not far [Ab6]away,[Bbm] a final d[Eb]estination
[Eb6]One mother's [F]son
[Bbm]His father's distant g[Eb]aze, regretting
[Eb6]Where they went w[F]rong
[Bbm]He always found it t[Eb]oo upsetting
[Abmaj7]Me and my fr[Ab6]iend
[Bbm]We lived our l[Eb]ives completely
[Abmaj7]From start to [Ab6]end
[Bbm]You and your f[Eb]riend, so sweetly
[Eb6]With strength and pr[F]ide
In s[Bbm]pite of every[Eb]thing, and swimming
[Eb6]Against the t[F]ide
To obs[Bbm]tinately h[Eb]ope of winning
And at the end
Your funny uncle staring
At all your friends
With military bearing
And stopped to stand
To smile and speak of you directly
Goodbye, shake hands
Like you did everything correctly
[F#6]To wipe a[F]way the t[Bbm]ears[Eb]
[F#6]No more p[F]ain, no [Bbm]fear
No sorrow or dying, no w[F]aiting or crying
[Bbm]These former [Db/Ab]things have passed [Eb/G]away
Another l[Eb]ife begins t[Abmaj7]oday [Ab6][Bbm][Eb][Ab]
