intro single notes (bass and organ) C E F G

C  G      C      G
So precious and fleeting
Am          F      Am      G
I loved them all   Time to go
C       G        C           G
Down the street  I watch you go
Am                  F    Am       G
Like there's no tomorrow Where we know


C                      G
Cause Everybody's is gone
             Am                    F
And all the old lamps are burning out
               C                G
And all those voices of joy and laughter
           Am                          F
Well them new folks done moved them out
          C                 G
But if I listen close I can hear them
             Am                  F
Lord they're calling me to come on
C                     G
It's just a matter of time
            Am                    F
Cause I got nowhere left to call home
C                 G
naa na naa na na naa naaa
         Am                    F
na na na na na naaaaaaa na naa naaa


E         F               C                    G
I see you waiting  But I know you won't understand
E               F                         G
Sand falling on through,   through my hands

C                      G
Cause Everybody's is gone
            Am                    F
And all the old lamps are burning out
 å              C                G
And all those voices of joy and laughter
           Am                          F
Well them new folks done moved them out
          C                 G
But if I listen close I can hear them
             Am                  F
Lord they're calling me to come on
C                     G
It's just a matter of time
            Am                    F
Cause I got nowhere left to call home
