G7 C
[Verse 1]
C7 F
The day that you told me, you wanted to be free
G7 C
I agreed with everything you had to say
C7 F
But I confess I lied, and darlin' how I cried
G7 C
When the echo of your footsteps died away
[Chorus]
G7 G C
I thought our castles had a firm foundation
C7 D7 G7 G
But all along was only made of clay
C C7 F
With aching heart I found, it tumbled to the ground
G C
When the echo of your footsteps died away
[Intrumental Break]
G G7 C D7 G G7
C F G7 G C
[Verse]
C F
If I had only known, I'd feel so all alone
G G7 C
I'd have begged down on my knees for you to stay
C F
The gates to paradise, swung closed before my eyes
G G7 C
When the echo of your footsteps died away
[Chorus]
G7 G C
No matter where you are I wish you well dear
D7 G7 G
And I ask God to bless you every day
C F
For I cannot deny, I bid my heart goodbye
G G7 C
When the echo of your footsteps died a-way...
