F Gm7
Another day is at end
C F4 F F/E Dm
Mama says she's tired again
Dm/C Em7 A7 Bb C4
No one can even begin to tell her
F Gm7
I hardly know what to say
C F4 F F/E Dm
But maybe it's better that way
Dm/C Em7 A7 Bb C4
If papa were here I'm sure he'd tell her
F Gm7 F Bb4 Bb
Shannon is gone I hope she's drifting out to sea
F Gm7 Eb C4
She always loved to swim away
F Gm7 F Bb4 Bb
Maybe she'll find an island with a shady tree
F Eb Bb Dm G7
Just like the one in our backyard
F Gm7
Mama tries hard to pretend
C F4 F F/E Dm
Things will get better again
Dm/C Em7 A7 Bb C4
Somehow she's keeping it all inside her
F Gm7
But finally the tears fill our eyes
C F4 F F/E Dm
And I know that somewhere tonight
Dm/C Em7 A7 Bb C4
She knows how much we really miss her
F Gm7 F Bb4 Bb
Shannon is gone I hope she's drifting out to sea
F Gm7 Eb C4
She always loved to swim away
F Gm7 F Bb4 Bb
Maybe she'll find an island with a shady tree
F Eb Bb Dm G7
Just like the one in our backyard
Bb Eb Bb F Bb
Just like the one in our backyard
