[Verse 1]
So you Grode from the G6range where your Gmaj7brothers selecG6t
Through the Gghostly grey G6bush in the Gmaj7dawn G6
You rode Gslowly at G6first lest her Gmaj7heart should suspeG6ct
That you Gwere so glad to be Cgone
[Verse 2]
You had Gscarcely the G6courage to Gmaj7glance back at G6her
By the hGomestead G6receding from Gmaj7view G6
And you Gbreathed with G6relief as you Gmaj7rounded the G6spur
For the Gworld was a wide world to Cyou
[Chorus]
Grey Ceyes that grow sadder than Gsunset or rain
Fond Cheart that is ever more Gtrue
Firm Cfaith that grows firmer for Bmwatching in vain
She'll Cwait by the sliprails for Gyou
[Pre-verse]

[Verse 3]
Ah the Gworld is a G6new and a Gmaj7wide one to G6you
But the Gworld to your G6sweetheart is Gmaj7shut G6
For a Gchange never G6comes to the Gmaj7lonely bush G6girl
From the Gstockyard the bush and the Chut
[Verse 4]
And the Gonly rG6elief from itsGmaj7 dullness she G6feels
Is when Gridges grow G6softened andGmaj7 dim G6
And Gaway in the G6dusk to the Gmaj7sliprails she G6steals
To Gdream of past meetings with Cyou
[Chorus]
Grey Ceyes that grow sadder than Gsunset or rain
Fond Cheart that is ever more Gtrue
Firm Cfaith that grows firmer for Bmwatching in vain
She'll Cwait by the sliprails for Gyou

[Verse 5]
Do you Gthink where in G6place of bare Gmaj7fences dry G6creeks
Clear Gstreams and greenG6 hedges are Gmaj7seen G6
Where the Ggirls have G6lily and Gmaj7rose in their G6cheeks
And the Ggrass in midsummer is Cgreen
[Verse 6]
Do you Gthink now and G6then now Gmaj7or then in the G6whirl
Of the Gcity while G6London is Gmaj7new G6
Of the Ghut in the G6bush and the Gmaj7freckled-face gG6irl
Who is Geating her heart out for Cyou
[Chorus]
Grey Ceyes that grow sadder than Gsunset or rain
Fond Cheart that is ever more Gtrue
Firm Cfaith that grows firmer for Bmwatching in vain
She'll Cwait by the sliprails for Gyou
[Chorus]
Those grey Ceyes that are sadder than Gsunset or rain
Bruised Cheart that is ever more Gtrue
Fond Cfaith that is firmer for Bmtrusting in vain
She Cwaits by the sliprails for Bmyou
[Coda]
She Cwaits by the sliprails for Bmyou
CWaits by the sliprails for Gyou C
Just for Gyou
