Intro/Chorus
ch]C[/ch
This is the story of a man
[ch]E[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]*
Who took for granted everything he had
ch]Am[/ch
And how he let it all just slip away
[ch]F[/ch]~
Never to return again
(Note that the E* is just a quick hammer-on on the 2nd fret of the G-string)
Verse I:→ Phiên khúc
ch]C[/ch
Now twenty years have come and gone
ch]Am[/ch
And still he wonders what he did so wrong
ch]F[/ch
And how that he can win back her heart
ch]G[/ch
And finally step outside of the dark
ch]C[/ch
He buys fresh roses every day
ch]C/B[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Her favorite flower so she used to say
ch]F[/ch
And now the memories all that he has left
ch]G[/ch
And I'm afraid he'll drink himself to death
ch]C[/ch
This is the story of a man
ch]E[/ch
Who took for granted everything he had
ch]Am[/ch
And how he let it all just slip away
ch]F[/ch
Never to return again
ch]C[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Ooh
[ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch]~
Ooh
Verse II:→ Phiên khúc
ch]C[/ch
It's clear she's moved on long ago
ch]Am[/ch
But he still clings on to a distant hope
ch]F[/ch
That she’ll come and make a happy home
ch]G[/ch
For now it's him and the bottle all alone
ch]C[/ch
Sometimes you'll see him in the yard
ch]C/B[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
A wounded man with a desperate heart
ch]F[/ch
He keeps the hedges trimmed nice and neat
ch]G[/ch
To keep them the way that the used to be
ch]C[/ch
This is the story of a man
ch]E[/ch
Who took for granted everything he had
ch]Am[/ch
And how he let it all just slip away
ch]F[/ch
Never to return again
ch]C[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Ooh
[ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch]~
Ooh
Outro:
ch]C[/ch
A single dress hangs on its own
ch]Am[/ch
The scent of perfume all he has to hold
ch]F[/ch
A wasted life waiting on a dream
ch]G[/ch
Hoping for things the way they used to be
ch]C[/ch
This is the story of a man
ch]E[/ch
Who took for granted everything he had
ch]Am[/ch
And how he let it all just slip away
ch]F[/ch
Never to return again
End on: *
