C          Am          F          G 
Beautiful William one morning in May 
      C             Am              F       
in a milk-white convertible drove slowly away

C          Am           F             G 
Beautiful William with curling black hair 
      C            Am            F             
gold rings on his fingers as he held to the wheel

        Am                   Em 
Was he given a package by a man on the train? 
             Dm                   Am         G 
We found his car by the roadside later that day 
 

C             Am      F         G 
Mirrored sunglasses, roses and wine 
C            Am                 F            
laid on the empty seat, as he slowly drove by

    C               Am          F                G 
He left his lights burning. He left his perfect lawn 
     C           Am        F              
His automatic sprinklers about to switch on 

Fill 1 x2 

        Am                         Em 
Did he find a black glove on the cliffs by the bay? 
Dm                      F                           
Why would he leave us, why would he leave us this way?

     C                Am           F           G 
He drove through the town with a smile on his face 
 C         Am             F            
waving to everyone as he went on his way

 C         Am          F               G 
Polly from Red River, Rose from Green Falls 
       C           Am             F           
they drove to his house and they lay on the lawn

         Am                         Em 
Was he stopped in the airport by a man with a cane? 
              Dm                  Am         G 
We found his car by the roadside later that day

 C                Am                F            G 
Rose smashed his windows till the glass was all gone 
 C               Am                  F                
Polly broke the back door and she screamed down the hall 

Fill 1 x2 

     C         Am          F             G 
But no answer sounded but wind flying through 
       C            Am            F                
as we tore up the green lawn and torched all the rooms 

Fill 1 x2 

        Am                        Em 
Did he find a white glove in the pines by the lake? 
Dm                      F                           
Why would he leave us, why would he leave us this way?
