D E G A7 

It is the evening of the day

D E G A7 

I sit and watch the children play

G A7 D Bm 

Smiling faces I can see, but not for me

G A A7 

I sit and watch as tears go by



D E G A7 

My riches can't buy ev'rything

D E G A7 

I want to hear the children sing

G A7 D Bm 

All I hear is the sound of rain falling on the ground

G A A7 

I sit and watch as tears go by



D E G A7 

It is the evening of the day

D E G A7 

I sit and watch the children play

G A7 D Bm 

Doin' things I used to do they think are new

G A A7 

I sit and watch as tears go by



D E7 G A7 

Mmmm ...
