Magna Carta - Time for the leaving

The ^Ewind blows the ashes of ^G#msummer, and ^F#mpulls the tar paper face on the h^Eooding ^{D A} the ^Emarmalade cat, with ^G#mdark mangled ears ^F#mslips through the fence without s^Epeaking this is my ^F#mworld and home ^Afootball and marbles and coming home late if you ^Edare

^EI look at the face in the^G#m mirror, I ^F#mknow it so well, but I don’t know at a^Ell ^{D A} and the ^Echild books are weary, and^G#m fade on the shelves with ^F#mthings that were precious now d^Eusty this is my ^F#myesterday and the ^Afriends that I knew, have all ^Egone

^Bnow and ^Anow ^Enow is the^F# time for the ^Eleav^Din’ ^{A E}

in a c^Eorner she sits, by the^G#m fire she ^F#mseeks the words that somehow e^Elude ^Dher ^A and the ^Eyesterday face, a^G#m picture with moustache looks ^F#mdown to the ground from the m^Eantelpiece this is my ^F#mworld alone the ^Ablue cotton dress and the man on the cross on the ^Ewall

then ^Ewhy must you go, are the^G#m words that she’s found there’s a j^F#mob in the paper, that’s f^Eirm ^{D A} five ^Eminutes from home and^G#m the pay is real good and the ^F#mprospects get better, they s^Eay how can I ^F#mtell you now good ^Abye must be all I can ^Esay

and ^Bnow and ^Anow ^Enow is the^F# time for the ^Eleavin’ and ^Bnow and ^Anow ^Enow is the^F# time for the ^Eleavi^Dn’ ^{A E} (repeat ^Eto fa^Dde) ^{A E}
