You (G)fold his hands and smooth his tie, you gen tly lift his chin.
Were you (C)real ly so blind
and un kind to him?
Can’t (Em9)help the itch to touch, to kiss, to hold him once a gain.
Now, to (F6/9)close his eyes, nev er (Am11)o pen (Csus2)them...?
A (G7)shad ow passed, a (Cm)shad ow passed, (Cm6)yearn (G)ing, (C)yearn (G)ing (A7)for the fool
