Intro   D E A A A A 
 
Bm       
Your shoulders they been touched upon                                        
A 
You smiled each single time 
Bm 
The sidewalks you once walked upon 
A 
Brushing roses to the side 
E 
Now your feathered wings left tattered spent 
                      A                             D 
And you’ve stained your silken gown 
D                                    A 
Will the angels still lye next to you 
 E                             D           E         A 
Tonight, when you lay your body down 
 
Bm       
Daddy’s girl with the white pearly pearls                                     
A 
Not a crooked one to show 
Bm       
You played your part you played so well 
A 
No one would ever know 
E 
Now I wouldn’t say that I was amazed  
         A                           D 
By what I heard they found 
D                                      A 
Will those attic toys still haunt you dear? 
E                              D           E          A 
Tonight, when you lay your body down 
       
         
        D                       D 
       Memory Babe, Memory Babe                                              
                         A                           D 
       When the dark don’t make a sound 
        D                              A 
       Hold your heart and dream what may 
        E                             D          E        A 
       Tonight, when you lay your body down 
 
Bm 
Bad reflections, seen them flicker through                                        
A 
I’ve watched them blaze in black and white 
Bm 
The shoes we walked so long ago lost  
A 
on them walk about search about flights 
E                                  
What separates another passing phase? 
                A                      D 
Clear as dusk is to the dawn 
D                                    A 
Will the angels still lie next to me  
E                       D            E         A 
Tonight when I lay this body down?

       When the dark don’t make a sound 
        D                              A 
       Hold your heart and dream what may 
        E                             D          E        A

Mine, will not be your failure 
Bm                                 A 
Mine, is all yours to know                                                            
Bm                          A 
Mine, is all I can offer  
Bm                      A    A    
Mine, let it be saved for 
    Saved for….
