Catch 22 – As The Footsteps Die Out Forever (Ukulele)

       C               D
She was diagnosed on a Friday,

    C
The kids were almost home,

    A                   C                  C
The kids were on their way back home from school,

                       D
Lying face down in the gutter,

    C
Of unaccomplished dreams,

    A             C               C
And broken memories of things to come.

                       D      
"Sorry ma'am, I really am. I had to break the news.

   C                            A                    C
I had to make the phone call to tell you that you're due,

         C                    D
You know where, I'll tell you when,

         C                           A
And I suggest you start living these next three weeks,

    C                      
The best way that you can."

C                 D                 C
Every night for three long weeks,

                        A         C
She’d roam the hallways half asleep,

            D         
And as the footsteps fade away,

       C                             A                  
In my mind, I could swear, I could swear, I heard her say:

 C             D                       C                       A     C
Don't wait for me, you’ve got a lot to do, you’ve got a lot to be,

            D             
And in the end maybe, I'll see you there.

C                   D
 Lost strength on a Saturday,

C
Spent the day in bed

  A           C                            C           D
"yeah, I'm fine. it's just the flu", she said with a smile

      C                                             A  C
But when they turned their backs, the tears would flow

                          C
She knew she only had a while

             D
To live (to breath)

           C
To be (to see)

              A    C
To bleed, to stand

                         C
On her own two weakened feet

          D          C   
And so I pray everyday

        A              C              
"Don't take my moher away"-
