[Intro] G  A  C  D

G           A              C  D
  It is the evening of the day
G           A                  C   D
  I sit and watch the children play
C               D          G             Em
  Smiling faces I can see    but not for me
C           C                 D   D
  I sit and watch as tears go by

G           A               C      D
  My riches can't buy everything
G           A                 C   D
  I want to hear the children sing
C            D
  All I hear is the sound
G                 Em
  Of rain falling on the ground
C           C                 D   D
  I sit and watch as tears go by

G           A                  C   D
  I sit and watch the children play
C              D
  Doing things I used to do
G                Em
  They think are new
C           C                 D   D
  I sit and watch as tears go by
