Time For The Leaving - Magna Carta
[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E G#m
The wind blows the ashes of summer,
F#m E D E
and pulls at a torn paper face on the hoarding
E G#m
And a marmalade cat, with dog-mangled ears
F#m E
slips through the fence without speaking
F#m
This was my world alone
A E
Football and marbles and coming home late if you dare
[Verse 2]
E G#m
I look at the face in the mirror,
F#m E D E
I know it so well, but I don’t know at all
E G#m
And the child looks so weary, faint on the shelves
F#m E
And the things that were precious, now dusty
F#m
This was my yesterday
A E
And the friends that I knew have all gone
[Chorus]
B
Now
A
And now
E F# A
Now is the time
E D A E
For the leaving
[Verse 3]
E G#m
In the corner she sits by the fire
F#m E D E
and seeks for the words that somehow elude her
E G#m
And the yesterday face with the Kitchener moustache
F#m E D E
looks down faded brown from the mantelpiece
F#m
This is her world alone
A E D E D E
A blue cotton dress and the man on the cross on the wall
[Verse 4]
E G#m
Oh, why must you go were the words that she found
F#m E D E
There’s a job with a paperback firm
E G#m
Five minutes away and the pay is real good
