Lives in a dream

Father McKenzie
Writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near.
Look at him working,
Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?
Eleanor Rigby
Died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie
Wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved.

Obs: O símbolo '>' indica passagem imediata de um acorde para outro. Por exemplo no trecho:
Em/F > Em/G > Em/A > Em/B
cada acorde é tocado uma única vez e seguido imediatamente pelo
próximo. Na prática o que ocorre é uma progressão cromática de
baixos para um mesmo acorde básico.
