C#m I found this Bphotograph,
Aunderneath the broken picture glass.
C#mTender face of Ablack and white,
C#mBeautiful, a Ahaunting sight.
C#mLooked into an Bangel's smile,
Acaptivated all the while.
C#mFrom the hair and Aclothes she wore,
C#mI'd place her iAn between the wars.
EWas she willing Bwhen she sat
and Aposed the pretty Dphotograph?
ESave her flowering Band fair,
the Adays to come, the Ddays to share.
EA big Bsmile DforDsus2 the camera,
Ahow did she Dknow?
the Emoment could Bbe lost DforeDsus2ver
AforC#mever more
C#m I found this Bphotograph,
Astashed between the old joist walls,
C#min a place where Atime is lost,
C#mlost behind, where Aall things fall.
C#mBroken books and Bcalendars,
Aletters script in careful hand,
C#mmusic too, a Astandard tune by
C#msome forgotten Abig brass band.
EFrom the threshhold Bwhat's to see
Aof our brave new century?
EThe television's Bjust a dream,
Athe radio, the silver screen.
EA big Bsmile DforDsus2 the camera,
Ahow did she Dknow?
the Emoment could Bbe lost DforeDsus2ver
AforC#mever more
Bridge:
E B D Dsus2 A D (repeats) last repeat replace last D with C#m
play intro riff 3 times
EWas her childhood Bfilled with rhymes,
Astolen hooks, Dimpassioned crimes?
EWas she innoBcent or blind
Ato the cruelty Dof her time?
EWas she fearful Bin her day,
Awas she hopeful, Ddid she pray?
EWere there skeleBtons inside,
Afamily secrets, Dsworn to hide?
EDid she feel the Bheat that stirs,
Athe fall from grace of Dwayward girls?
EWas she tempted Bto pretend,
Athe love and laughter, D'til the end?
