Strawbs – The Weary Song (Guitar)

    G               Dm             Em              D
The soldier smiling softly sings a song of sad farewell

       G                  Dm                Em  D
As the train pulls out to take him far from home___

    G               Dm            Em             D
His children waving gaily without knowing he has gone

D
Now you know what I feel

        C                    D
And the thoughts that always greet you

      C                D
Every morning when you rise

     C                                   D
They never ever change, they're just the same

            C          D
When you're weary to extreme

        C              D
And you never laugh or cry

       C                              D
You're just a sheet of glass inside a frame

    G                 Dm                Em                    D
The best days of your life are when you don't know right from wrong

         G          Dm                Em  D
When the fantasies around you seem so real___

      G        Dm           Em             D
And reality is really as fantastic as your dreams

D
Now you know how I feel

        C                    D
And the thoughts that always greet you

      C                D
Every morning when you rise

     C                                   D
They never ever change, they're just the same

            C          D
When you're weary to extreme

        C              D
And you never laugh or cry

       C                              D
You're just a sheet of glass inside a frame

       G                  Dm           Em               D
So the train pulls out forever, just a whistle and it's gone

        G            Dm                Em  D
And the station disappears before your eyes___

   G                   Dm                 Em                   D
In time the rails will rust and you'll forget that you've been there

D
Now you know how I feel

        C                    D
And the thoughts that always greet you

      C                D
Every morning when you rise

     C                                   D
They never ever change, they're just the same

            C          D
When you're weary to extreme

        C              D
And you never laugh or cry

       C                              D
You're just a sheet of glass inside a frame
