In this dead calm beneath the waves

I can still hear those lost     boys calling

You could not speak

You were afraid

   G                      Ab*    Am7
To take the risk of being left again

And so you tipped your hat and waved and then

You turned back up the gangway of that steel tomb again

And in Mott Street in July

The spotlight fades

The boys disband,

the final notes lie mute upon the sand

And in the silence of the grave

	      Am7	     Am7/D    G
I can still hear those lost boys calling

We left them there

               F
When they were young

    G                                 C
The men  were gone until the west was won

		    F                        Ab*
And now there's nothing left but time to kill

          Am7     D/Am7
You never took us fishing, Dad

    G
And now you never will
CHORUS I Notes: 1. Not sure about the Ab as a single note, but I can’t figure out a chord here. I tried F/Ab, but it didn’t sound right. 2. Not sure about the G/B either. 3. I also had a bit of trouble with the "and so you tipped your hat and waved" line. I'm sure that what I have is correct, but would welcome suggestions.
