There's a light beyond these woods, Mary Margaret.

Do you think that we will go there,

You know we've made big plans for ten-year-olds,

You and I.

Have you met my new boy friend, Margaret?
G              Cadd9         G
   His name is John, and he rides my bus to school,
       C/G       CMaj7/G   C/G
And he holds my hand.
     CMaj7/G     G           Cadd9   G
He's fourteen,       he's my older man.
     D
But we'll still be the best of friends,

  Let's go to New York City, Margaret!
      G                 Cadd9
We'll hide out in the subways
     G
And drink the poets' wine, oh,
    C/G       CMaj7/G   C/G CMaj7/G        G       Cadd9   G
But I had John,             so you went and I stayed behind.
     D                            C/G
But you were home in time for the senior prom,

When we lost John.

Well, they haven't changed.

Your daughter and your husband here, they really treat you right

And what about the light,
      D                            C/G
That glowed beyond our woods when we were ten?

You were the rambler then.
