     C#m    Ebm     B       G#m        C#m     Ebm   B   G#m

On a bright day she passed away in the morning

       C#m   Ebm    B         G#m         C#m     Ebm   B   G#m

It's a cruel way to take her away with no warning

C#m Ebm     B              G#m   C#m      Ebm     B    G#m

He  took her hands through every midnight hour

         C#m Ebm B       G#m        C#m            Ebm    B    G#m

And they saw her fading away like a spring shower





A              B            C#m

I can see a complete life's time

E                       B         C#m

Pictures and posters of times and fashion

A                      B         C#m

Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme

E               B        C#m

Taken away in a crime of passion





C#m Ebm     B         G#m             C#m          Ebm   B   G#m

He  stood to see if he could catch her breathing

           C#m Ebm      B     G#m          C#m      Ebm   B    G#m

But it was no  good, he understood she was leaving

C#m Ebm       B        G#m    C#m    Ebm      B   G#m

He  looked outside the frosty window pane

            C#m Ebm B       G#m          C#m        Ebm   B   G#m

And then he saw her moving away Elizabeth Jane





A              B            C#m

I can see a complete life's time

E                       B         C#m

Pictures and posters of times and fashion

A                      B         C#m

Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme

E               B        C#m

Taken away in a crime of passion





C#m Ebm B          G#m           C#m           Ebm   B    G#m

I   see freedom in sight, it's a long climb

        C#m   Ebm      B      G#m         C#m      Ebm   B   G#m

But she would not give up the fight for a long time

C#m   Ebm   B        G#m     C#m  Ebm      B   G#m

And I see a light go shining into night

          C#m Ebm      B             G#m             C#m          Ebm B G#m

Baby it's all right we couldn't have changed it with second sight





A              B            C#m

I can see a complete life's time

E                       B         C#m

Pictures and posters of times and fashion

A                      B         C#m

Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme

E               B        C#m

Taken away in a crime of passion



F#

I see freedom glittering in the night

F#                                  E      B

I see freedom but she wouldn't give up the fight





Solo





C#m   Ebm   B        G#m     C#m  Ebm      B   G#m

And I see a light go shining into night

          C#m Ebm      B             G#m             C#m          Ebm  B  G#m

Baby it's all right we couldn't have changed it with second sight
