[Verse 1] G (softly for a whole measure)
    G
You fold his hands and smooth his tie
You gently lift his chin
        Cadd2
Were you really so blind
And unkind to him?
      Em
Can't help the itch to touch, to kiss
To hold him once again
       Asus2
Now to close his eyes

      Csus2
Never open them
[Chorus]
  G              C
A shadow past, a shadow past

Am        Csus2    Asus2
Yearning, yearning for the fool

  Cadd2
It called a home
[Verse 2]
G
All things he never did

   Csus2
Are left behind

                   Em
All the things his mama
Wished he'd bear in mind
    Asus2          Cadd2
And all his dad had hoped he'd know

G   Am   C    Csus2
Oh - o - Oh - oOo

    G
The talks you never had
The Saturdays you never spent
       Cadd2
All the grown-up places
You never went
    Em
And all of the crying
You wouldn't understand
         Asus2
You just let him cry

      Csus2
Make a man out of him
[Chorus]
  G              C
A shadow past, a shadow past

Am        Csus2    Asus2
Yearning, yearning for the fool

  Cadd2
It called a home
[Verse 3]
G
All things he ever wished

   Csus2
Are left behind

                   Em
All the things his mama
Did to make him mind
   Asus2           Cadd2
And how his dad had hoped he'd grow
[Verse 4]
G
All things he ever lived

   Csus2
Are left behind

                   Em
All the fears that ever
Flickered through his mind
       Asus2
All the sadness that

    Cadd2
He'd come to own

G   Am   C    Csus2
Oh - o - Oh - oOo

G   Am   C    Csus2
Oh - o - Oh - oOo

G   Am   C    Cadd2
Oh - o - Oh - oOo
[Chorus]
  G              C
A shadow past, a shadow past

Am        Csus2    Asus2
Yearning, yearning for the fool

  Cadd2
It called a home

       Am7
And it whistles through the ghosts

     Cmaj9
Still left behind

   Am7
It whistles through the ghosts

     Cmaj9
Still left behind

   Em13
It whistles through the ghosts

          Cadd2
Still left behind

     Cmaj9          Save the pinky for the last note for flavor
Oh
