My Opening Farewell Chords Used D E/D G/D D* G/D* E/D* A7sus4 A7 G F#m A7*

D* E/D G/D D G/D* D* E/D G/D A lady stands before an open window, staring so far away. D E/D G/D D G/D* D* She can almost feel the southern wind blow, almost touching her restless Day. She turns from her window to me, sad smile her apology Sad eyes reaching to the door.

Daylight loses to another evening, And still she spares me the word goodbye. She sits alone beside me fighting her feelings, Struggles to speak but in the end can only cry.

Bridge

Suddenly it's so hard to find The sound of the words to speak her troubled mind So I'm offering these to her as if to be kind D* G/D* A7* D* There's a train every day, leaving either way There's a world you know, there's a way to go And you'll soon be gone, it's just as well This is my opening farewell

Last verse:

A child's drawing left there on the table And a woman's silk lying on the floor I would keep them here if I were able To lock her safe behind this open door

Bridge

Suddenly it's so clear to me, That I asked her to see what she may never see And now my kind words find there way back to me There's a train everyday, leaving either way There's a world you know, You gotta ways to go And I'll soon believe that it's just as well This is my opening farewell
