She was also watching etc
by Grand Salvo
(Love your work Paddy)
[Verse]
Am C F
A boy in the night, he's never been right
Dm
He kicks at a stone
Am C F
Woman is old, her hands on the folds
Dm
Of sheet white as bone
Am C F
He's heading her way, and she's still awake
Dm
It's quarter to four
Am C F
He kicks at the gate, he's been at the turps
Dm
He's lost as a bird
[Chorus]
G
Oh-oh
C Am
From the window above, she is watching it all
F
He trips and he falls
G C Am
As he tries to stand, she smiles in her hand
F
He's on the Hills Hoist
[Verse]
Am C F
The back door is open, she never closes
Dm
It to the night
Am C F
Still there's a crash, a curse and a smash
Dm
She loses a pane
Am C F
He's been there before, he knows where to go
Dm
The end of the hall
Am C F
He tries to be quiet while finding the light
Dm
But sinks to the floor
[Chorus]
G
Oh-oh
C Am
By the light of the stars, he searches for hours
F
The cupboards and drawers
G C Am
He opens a book, it slips to the floor
F
A picture of her
[Bridge]
G C F
A girl at a ball, dancing alone
Dm C
Shot from the side, her eyes can't hide
F Dm
That she's in love with the photographer...
G C F
The others are blurred but she's still as a bird
Dm C
The arch of her back, the line of her neck
F Dm F
The tiniest smile and those exalted eyes...
