Em His family taught him right from wrong With local tales and children's songs Am Sunday school was his shelter D With his friends Joe and Walter Em Now those days seem far away An empty swing where he once played Am Now Bill's grown so fat and bold D He never thought that he'd grow old CHORUS: G C D And everyday when he gets the train G C D Looks out the window and thinks in vain C D Em If I could only be that boy again Em His sales job it gets him down Same old faces, same old sounds Am Heart attacks, orthopaedic backs D Documents and labelled racks Em His wife can't stand the sight of him With his routine glass of gin Am She makes his lunch of processed ham D And waits in for the meter man CHORUS: G C D And everyday when he gets the train G C D Looks out the window and thinks in vain C D Em If I could only be that boy again SOLO: [e------------------------------------------------------------------- B-13-1212--13-1212--13-1212-9-13-1212----12-1010-8-12-10-8-8p7b-8p7b G------------------------------------------------------------------- D------------------------------------------------------------------- A------------------------------------------------------------------- E------------------------------------------------------------------- e------------------------------------------------------------------- B-13-1212--13-1212--13-1212-9-13-1212----12-1010-8-12-10-8-8p7b-8p7b G------------------------------------------------------------------- D------------------------------------------------------------------- A------------------------------------------------------------------- E-------------------------------------------------------------------] Am C D Em If he could be that boy again Em Another day, another gin His kids don't even notice him Am Something different about his face D His happy smile seems out of place Em His family gathered round for tea Eyes fixed on their new telly C A news flash came, then it said D Bill McCai was just found dead CHORUS: G C D No more windows, no more trains G C D Hung himself out in the rain C D Em Now he'll never be that boy again And we say...
