^F#mCrickets are ^Achirpin', the ^Ewater is^C#m high There's a ^F#msoft cotton ^Adress on the ^Eline hangin' ^F#mdry ^F#mWindow wide ^Aopen, ^EAfrican ^C#mtrees ^F#mBent over ^Abackwards from a ^Ehurricane ^F#mbreeze Not a ^Eword of goodbye, not ^Eeven a note She ^F#mgone with the ^Aman In the ^Elong black ^F#mcoat

^F#mSomebody ^Aseen him ^Ehanging a^C#mround At the ^F#mold dance ^Ahall on the ^Eoutskirts of ^F#mtown He looked ^F#minto her ^Aeyes when she ^Estopped him to ^C#mask If he ^F#mwanted to ^Adance, he had a ^Eface like a ^F#mmask ^ESomebody said from the ^EBible he'd quote There was ^F#mdust on the ^Aman In the ^Elong black ^F#mcoat
