C#m B
I found this photograph,
A
underneath the broken picture glass.
C#m A
Tender face of black and white,
C#m A
Beautiful, a haunting sight.
C#m B
Looked into an angel's smile,
A
captivated all the while.
C#m A
>From the hair and clothes she wore,
C#m A
I'd place her in between the wars.
E B
Was she willing when she sat
A D
and posed the pretty photograph?
E B
Save her flowering and fair,
A D
the days to come, the days to share.
E B D Dsus2
A big smile for the camera,
A D
how did she know?
E B D Dsus2
the moment could be lost forever
A C#m
forever more
C#m B
I found this photograph,
A
stashed between the old joist walls,
C#m A
in a place where time is lost,
C#m A
lost behind, where all things fall.
C#m B
Broken books and calendars,
A
letters script in careful hand,
C#m A
music too, a standard tune by
C#m A
some forgotten big brass band.
E B
>From the threshhold what's to see
A
of our brave new century?
E B
The television's just a dream,
A
the radio, the silver screen.
E B D Dsus2
A big smile for the camera,
A D
how did she know?
E B D Dsus2
the moment could be lost forever
A C#m
forever more
Bridge: {play intro riff 3 times}
E B
Was her childhood filled with rhymes,
A D
stolen hooks, impassioned crimes?
E B
Was she innocent or blind
A D
to the cruelty of her time?
E B
Was she fearful in her day,
A D
was she hopeful, did she pray?
E B
Were there skeletons inside,
A D
family secrets, sworn to hide?
E B
Did she feel the heat that stirs,
A D
the fall from grace of wayward girls?
E B
Was she tempted to pretend,
A D
the love and laughter, 'til the end?
Ending??
