When the (C)sun slow ly (F)sets just be (G)hind our (C)hill, then the mem o ries (F)come in the (G)eve ning (C)chill.
How I long for your (F)touch
like a (G)lov er (Am)will.
Oh, I’m (Fmaj7)miss ing you.
God, I’m (G)miss ing you, my (Fmaj9)Bill.
The par lor roof still (Em)leaks a bit
where ga ble meets the (G)eave.

but I know you had to (E)leave.
Thank God there’s so much to (Bb)do.
It’s the work that gets me (G7)through.
