Key: G
Introduction:
D2 A/D
Alone, as I sit and watch the trees
D2 A/D
Won't you tell me if I scream, will they bend down and listen to me
Bm A
And it makes me wonder if I'll know the words when you come
G
Or will you laugh at me or will I run?
Little boy says to me "Where you goin' now, son?"
G D
Or does my brother's heart cry, oh I don't know
G D
I'm a stranger in my home
G D
Now that everybody's gone
G Bm Bm7
Someone please talk to me cause I feel you cry
A G
And you're sitting with him and I know I'll never see you again
Lying down in Charleston underneath the Carolina sky
G F#m Em
Does he realize, my pain is for real
Bm
I see you in my dreams
A7 Bm Bm7
and I wonder if you're looking down at me and smiling right now
AG Bm
Oh yeah I wanna know if it's true, when he looks at me
Bm7
Won't ya tell me, does he realize,
A7
he came down here, and he took you to soon, oh
And now my days are short and my nights are long
D2 A Bm A G
F#m Em A7 Bm7
