      G        C                     G 
She's taken to walking, alone in the evenin’ 
              D             C            G 
He's taken to sleepin’, all night in his chair 
             C                       G 
Together they both, had a reason for livin’ 
              D          C          G 
Back when the feelin’, of loving was there 
                 C                        G 
Then she took to dreamin’, when he wasn't lookin’ 
               D            C       G 
And he took to lookin’, for moments alone 
              C                        G 
Together they drifted, apart from each other 
              D              C           G 
Together they both knew, the feelin’ was gone. 
 
Chorus: 
              C                      G 
Gone Like the sparrow, south for the winter 
              D      C         G 
Gone Like the river, out to the sea 
              C                                G 
Gone Like the leaves from, the trees when it’s snowing 
              D               C            G 
Gone Like the love that, they once gave so free. 
 
                C                         G 
Till he took to starring, at his lonesome shadow 
                D            C             G 
And she took to hummin’, the words to some song 
                  C                         G 
They both felt it slippin’, that feeling of giving 
            D           C      G 
Leaving the feeling, of being alone 
             C                  G 
Each of them reach, out for the other 
              D              C        G 
Together they go though, the motions alone 
             C                       G 
Tryin’ to pretend that, nothing else matters 
       D                   C          G 
Making believe that, their love isn't gone. 
Chorus: 
 
              D               C            G 
Gone Like the love that, they once gave so free.
