C Fm/C Db/Ab Eb+9/Bb
CThe church bells ring outF morning glory G C
When summer bends toF the winter's rage G C
AmEmily Fwalks through the cemetery G C
AmPassed a dFog in an unmarGked grave C F C
CThe old girl hobbFles, nylons sGagging C
Talks to her sisterFs in the groGund C
AmI saw a Flie in the miGrror this morning C
AmI heard a pFrophesy all aroGund Am G/B
And EmF/Cily Cthey come and go Fm/C
The shadowsDb/Ab and tEb/Bbhe distant sounds F6
But F/CEmily Cdon't be afraid Fm/C
When the weight of angeDb/Abls weigEb/Bbhs you down F6
Emily prays to a faded hero
In a little frame clutched to her gown
Hears the voice of promise in his memory
Tonight's the night they let the ladder down
In a cage sits a gold canary
By a wicker chair and a rosewood loom
As a soul ascends abord the evening
Canary sings to an empty room
