Verse 1:

                    
 Every-one has gone a-way;
                      
 Can you hear me? Can you hear me?

                      
 No one cared enough to stay.
                      
 Can you hear me? Can you hear me?

Chorus 1:

                                                   
You must remember me, old man; I know that you can if you try.
                                             /G      
So just open up your eyes, old man; look who s come to say good-bye.

Verse 2:

                                                     
The sun has left the sky, old man; the birds have flown a-way.
                                         
And no one came to cry, old man; good-bye, old man, good-bye.

Verse 3:

                                                   
You want to stay, I know you do, but it ain t no use to try.
                           
Cos I ll be here, and I m just like you,
                    
Good-bye, old man, good-bye.

Chorus 2:

                                                            
Won t be no God to comfort you; you taught me not to believe that lie.
                                    
You don t need anybody, no-body needs you;
C#dim7                   
 Don t cry, old man, don t cry;
C#dim7   
 Every-body dies.
