Chords

[Verse 1]
G
You fold his hands and smooth his tie, you gently lift his chin.

C
Were you really so blind, and unkind to him?

Em
Can't help the itch to touch, to kiss, to hold him once again.

Am                                C
Now to close his eyes--never open them....
[Pre-Chorus]
G                C                Am        C
A shadow passed, a shadow passed, yearning, yearning

Am                       C
For the fool it called a home.
[Chorus 1]
G                           C
All things he never did are left behind.

                   Em
All the things his mama wished he'd bear in mind,

    Am                         C
And all his dad had hoped he'd know.

G   C  Em   Am
Oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh

G
The talks you never had, the saturdays you never spent.

C
All the 'grown-up' places you never went.

Em
And all of the crying you wouldn't understand.

Am                                       C
You just let him cry, 'make a man out of him.'
[Pre-Chorus]
G                C                Am        C
A shadow passed, a shadow passed, yearning, yearning

Am                       C
For the fool it called a home.
[Chorus 2]
G                           C
All things he ever wished are left behind...

                   Em
All the things his mama did to make him mind,

    Am                         C
And how his dad had hoped he'd grow.
[Chorus 3]
G                            C
All things he ever lived are left behind...

                   Em
All the fears that ever flickered through his mind.

        Am                        C
All the sadness that he'd come to own.

G   C  Em   Am
Oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh

G   C  Em   Am
Oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh

G    C   Em   Am
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Outro]
G                C                Am        C
A shadow passed, a shadow passed, yearning, yearning

Am                       C
For the fool it called a home.
