D
I recall
Bm A G
A schoolboy coming home
D
Through fields of cane
Bm A G
To a house of tin and timber
D
And in the sky
Bm A G
A rain of falling cinders
G A
From time to time
G
The waste, memory wastes
REPEAT MAIN RIFF x2
D
I recall
Bm A G
A boy in bigger pants
D
Like everyone
Bm A G
Just waiting for a chance
D
His father's watch
Bm A G
He left it in the showers
G A
From time to time
G
The waste, memory wastes
G
And the waste, memory wastes
REPEAT MAIN RIFF x4
D
I recall
Bm A G
A bigger brighter world
D
A world of books
Bm A G
And silent times in thought
D
And then the railroad
Bm A G
The railroad takes him home
D
Through fields of cattle
Bm A G
Through fields of cane
G A
From time to time
G
The waste, memory wastes
G
And the waste, memory wastes
