[Verse 1]
D                      C        D
Would you join a slow marching band
         F#m              G
And take pleasure in your leaving
       D     Bm        A         A
as the ferry sails and tears are dried
    G         Em      G
and cows come home at evening

[Verse 2]
D                            C        D
Could you get behind a slow marching band
         F#m             G
And join together in the passing
   D      Bm             A     A
of all we shared through yesterdays
   G       Em   G
in sorrows neverlasting

[Bridge]
G               D
Take a hand and take a bow
    C                     G       Bm
You played for me that's all for now
        Em    G        D
oh and never mind the words
     G D  Em       Am      C
just hum along and keep on going

[Chorus]
C    D  Em
Walk on slowly
      G    C D    D    D Dsus4 D
don't look behind you
      C   D   G    Em
Don't say goodbye love
  G     C D
I won't remind you

[Verse 3]
D                   C           D
Dream of me as the nights draw cold
      F#m                  G
still marking time through Winter
    D        Bm        A           A
You paid the piper and called the tune
        Bm          G     Em    A
and you marched the band aw - ay

[Bridge]
G               D
Take a hand and take a bow
    C                     G       Bm
You played for me that's all for now
        Em    G        D
oh and never mind the words
     G D  Em       Am      C
just hum along and keep on going

[Chorus]
C    D  Em
Walk on slowly
      G    C D    D    D Dsus4 D
don't look behind you
      C   D   G    Em
Don't say goodbye love
  G     C D    D
I won't remind you

[Chorus]
C    D  Em
Walk on slowly
      G    C D    D    D Dsus4 D
don't look behind you
      C   D   G    Em
Don't say goodbye love
  G     C D    D
I won't remind you
C D    D
remind you
C D    D
remind you
