The Poor Boy Is Taken Away

D  G  D  C G/B Am Em7

[Verse 1]
D
Gold-haired poor boy, you took him for fun
   G               A         D
He dressed for the tinkering trade
   G               A         D
He dressed for the tinkering trade
        G           C      D    G  Am  Em7
Now the poor boy is taken away


[Verse 2]
D
No use waiting like a ghost in a dream
    G            A          D
The world has no comfort to bring
    G            A          D
The world has no comfort to bring
   G           C        D
He left you to get everything

[Verse 3]
D
No use standing, waving adieu
    G           A            D
The penny won't drop in your mind
    G           A            D
The penny won't drop in your mind
    G           C          D     G  Am  Em7
The old flame's left you behind


[Verse 4]
D
No use crying in a room full of memories
    G          A          D
You never will find yesterday
    G          A          D
You never will find yesterday
        G           C      D      C G/B Am Em7   D
And the poor boy is taken away
