Neal Casal - Open ground

To ^Ework like the devil for ^BYour pay Was the ^C#mold song that He used to si^Ang Before the waking ho^Eurs Rolled out ^Bacross the open g^Eround ^{A E}

Now I ^Esee Him through the window at a t^Bable Drinking His c^C#moffee and talking about the ^Adays Before the time that ^EWe knew Would not ^Breturn to this old ^Atown ^E

^F#m He's waiting f^Aor somebody ^Belse to save His ^Eday ^F#m Or at least to ^Asee some light b^Before It fades a^F#mway....^A. Yeah, ^Eyeah ^{A E}

To c^Ehoose no companion It fell right in^B line With all the ^C#mothers she had known had laid by His ^Aside Before the sleepless m^Eorning Showed its ^Bface without a ^Esound. ^AWi^Ethout a sound

Now w^Ehere did the time go all these^B years After the pictur^C#mes had been burned And the names have all been cl^Aeared From all that She re^Emembers It adds up in t^Bime To not a th^Aing, No not a t^Ehing

^F#m She's waiting ^Afor somebody ^Belse to save Her ^Eday ^F#m Or at least to s^Aee His face be^Bfore He goes ^F#maway......^A Yeah,y^Eeah, ^AOh^E yeah Before He goes ^F#maway......^A Oh.Yeah,Yeah^E,yeah, ^{A E} Before He goes ^F#maway......^A Before He goes ^F#maway She j^Aust wants to see His face before He goes away ^F#m Before He goes away (Repeat to fade)
