[Gm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] The _ _ ghost of a hat _ [Cm] _ _ floats [Eb] over there [Bb] and a [F] smiley, smiley teen, _ [Gm] so lonely. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ She gave me her _ hand [Cm] _ _ as [Eb] I struck up a [Bb] band and she [F] seemed to say, she seemed to say,
you're [Gm] the only. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] And [Bb] we danced like [F] two _ snowflakes [Bb] _ in the falling [Gm]
wind, in the _ _ wind. _ _
_ And then [Cm] I find I'm [Eb] gone.
_ _ [Bb] Why won't [F] you let Molly go?
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ The gymnasium _ [Cm] floor, [Gm] _
[Cm] _ the brass clown [Eb] door, [Bb] _
[F] _ the jungle bird, the jungle bird that she [Gm] showed me. _ _ _ _ _
_ Her love was so clean, _
[Cm] _ to tell the [Eb] truth, [Bb] Molly, _
[F] _ the sound of her tambourine [Gm] still haunts me. _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ [Bb] We were [F] so young then, [Bb] now that I'm [Gm] old I know, I know, _ _ _ _ _ _ I loved [Cm] you right _ _ _ [Eb] then.
[Bb] I [F] would have made Molly [Gm] let go.
_ [G] _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ My friends in the bars, _
_ [Cm] hell, they only see [Eb] the scars [F] and they do not give a damn, they
do not give a damn that [Gm] I loved you. _ _ _ _ _
_ I don't know why, _ _
[Cm] _ but once [Eb] you've seen the sky, [F] _ _ you think you know all birds [Gm] are lovely. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ There's [Bb] snow on [F] the _ ground [Bb] and, [F] oh, it's dark [Gm] tonight. _ _
_ _ _ It's _ _ [Cm] 22 years _ [Eb] now _ _ _
[F] since I saw [Gm] the _ _ light. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
My world did _ explode _
[Cm] _ at such a high part, [Eb] _ _
[F] Lord, to right, to right, to right was all
[Gm] I left me. _ _ _ _
_ Up here, there's breeze, _ _
[Cm] _ high in the [Eb] clouds we're [Bb] free to [F] fly, _ fly away _ was the [Gm] lesson. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] And, oh, [Bb] the fire burned [F] her life out, _ [Bb] _
left me little [Gm] more. _ _
_ _ I _ am a [Cm] crippled singer, _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Gm] and it [F] _ evens [Gm] up the [Cm] score.
_ _ [G] _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ I go to her, _ _ [Cm] _ close over [Eb] there, _ [Bb] [F] a smile, a smile, it seems, [Gm] seems so lonely. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ She give me her _ _ [Cm] hand as I [Eb] struck up the violin, [F] she seemed to sigh, she seemed to sigh on [G] me only. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ And then [Bb] we danced [F] like two _ [Bb] snowflakes in the falling [Gm] wind, in the _ _ wind. _
_ _ Do [Cm] me a favor, _ [Eb] God, _ _ [Bb] [F] won't you let Molly _
[Gm] come in?
_ _ _ _ Do [Cm] me a favor, _ [Eb] God, _ _ [Gm] won't [F] you let Molly _ _ _ come [G] in? _ _ _ _ _ _
