I see the girls walkin' by dressed in their summer clothes. 
Em  D     G       D       A               B 
I have to turn my head un-til my darkness goes. 

Em                         B 
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black. 
Em                            B 
With flowers and by love both never to come back. 

Em  D          G          D         Em 
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away. 

Em       D        G    D       A             B  
Like a new born baby this just happens every day.
