Time For The Leaving

	  		
    E                       G#m 
The wind blows the ashes of summer, 
    F#m                              E      D     A 
and pulls the tar paper face on the hooding 
    E                   G#m 
the marmalade cat, with dark mangled ears 
F#m                              E 
slips through the fence without speaking 
           F#m 
this is my world and home    
A                                                E 
football and marbles and coming home late if you dare    

E                              G#m 
I       look at the face in the mirror, 
  F#m                                   E    D     A 
I know it so well, but I don’t know at all     
        E                         G#m 
and the child books are weary, and fade on the shelves 
     F#m                            E 
with things that were precious now dusty    
           F#m 
this is my yesterday    
        A                              E 
and the friends that I knew,  have all gone     

B 
now                     
    A 
and now         
E                              F# 
now                      is the time          
        E   D    A     E 
for the leavin’ 

      E                      G#m 
in a corner she sits,  by the fire 
    F#m                           E    D     A 
she seeks the words that somehow elude her 
        E                 G#m 
and the yesterday face,  a picture with moustache 
      F#m                          E 
looks down to the ground from the mantelpiece 
           F#m 
this is my world alone     
    A                                                 E 
the blue cotton dress and the man on the cross on the wall     

     E                        G#m 
then why must you go,  are the words that she’s found 
           F#m                      E    D     A 
there’s a job in the paper, that’s firm    
     E                    G#m 
five minutes from home and the pay is real good 
        F#m                         E 
and the prospects get better, they say     
          F#m 
how can I tell you now      
     A                           E 
good bye       must be all I can say          

    B 
and now                     
    A 
and now         
E                              F# 
now                      is the time          
        E 
for the leavin’ 
    B 
and now                     
    A 
and now         
E                              F# 
now                      is the time          
        E    D    A    E 
for the leavin’ 
        E    D    A    E 
(repeat to fade)
