    D

I recall

  Bm        A      G

A schoolboy coming home

                  D

Through fields of cane

     Bm       A       G

To a house of tin and timber

           D

And in the sky

  Bm      A       G

A rain of falling cinders

     G       A

From time to time

    G

The waste, memory wastes

REPEAT MAIN RIFF x2

   

D

I recall

  Bm     A      G

A boy in bigger pants

          D

Like everyone

     Bm      A     G

Just waiting for a chance

             D

His father's watch

   Bm      A      G

He left it in the showers

     G       A

From time to time

    G

The waste, memory wastes

        G

And the waste, memory wastes

REPEAT MAIN RIFF x4

    D

I recall

  Bm     A        G

A bigger brighter world

           D

A world of books

     Bm    A        G

And silent times in thought

             D

And then the railroad

    Bm       A         G

The railroad takes him home

                  D

Through fields of cattle

Bm      A         G

Through fields of cane

     G       A

From time to time

    G

The waste, memory wastes

        G

And the waste, memory wastes
