[Intro]  G  A9  C  D
         G  A9  C  D

G           A9              C  D
  It is the evening of the day
G            A9                  C  D
  I sit and watch the children play
C               D
  Smiling faces I can see

G  D/F#        Em
  But not for me
C                              D
  I sit and watch as tears go by

G            A9              C   D
  My riches can't buy everything
G            A9                C   D
  I want to hear the children sing
C            D
  All I hear is the sound
G     D/F#        Em
  Of rain falling on the ground
C                              D
  I sit and watch as tears go by

  It is the evening of the day
G            A9                  C  D
  I sit and watch the children play
