Been climbing trees I've skinned my knees
Amaj7
my hands are black the sun is going down
E
She scruffs my hair in the kitchen steam
Amaj7
She's listening to the dream I weaved today
E
Crosswords through the bathroom door
Amaj7
while someone sings the theme-tune to the news
E
and my sister buzzes through the room leaving perfume in the air
Amaj7
and that's what triggered this.
E
I come back here from time to time
Amaj7
I shelter here some days.
E Amaj7
E
C# high-back chair. He sits and stares
Amaj7
C# thousand yards and whistle's marching-band
E
Kneeling by and speaking up
Amaj7
He reaches out and I take a massive hand.
E
Disjointed tales that flit between
Amaj7
short trousers and a full dress uniform
E
And he talks of people ten years gone like I've known them all my life
Amaj7
Like scattered black 'n' whites....
E
I come back here from time to time
Amaj7
I shelter here some days.
E
I come back here from time to time
Amaj7
I shelter here some days.

Ok, enjoy, and get picking...
Lol, this is an endurance song - your hand is very tired after this...
