[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]I remember this afternoon
When my [C#]sis ter came i[F#m]nto the room
She re[C]fused to say how my [D]father was
[A]But I kne[B]w he'd be dying soon.

[Verse 2]
And [Em]I was oh so glad,
and [A]it was oh so sad
That I [D]realized that [A]I despised this
[Bm]man I once called father[C#].
[F#m]In his hanging on,
[A]wit[Ebdim]h fingers clutching[B]
[Em]His body now just eighty-eight pounds
pounds
[G]Blinded eyes still searching
[Asus4]For some distant dream[A] that [D]had
[A]faded [F#m]away at the s[B]eams.
Dy[Em]ing [Asus4]alone, naturally.

[B][D]

[Verse 3]
I [D]was his favourite child,
[C#]I had him a little while[F#m]
Just as [C]long as I [F#dim]could play the pi
[A]ano and [B]smile a little smile
[Em]Just when I needed him most,
he was [A]already a ghost
And for [D]all my life there where [F#m]promises
and they [Bm]always have been [C#]broken

[Verse 4]
[F#m]Leaving me [A]alone [Ebdim]with all my troubles
[B]Not eve[Em]r once touching me and saying
[G]"Daugther, I'll help you get over."
[D]Now he's [A]fadig away and
I'm glad to [Bm]say,
[Bsus4]He's dyin[Em]g at l[Asus4]ast. Natu[A]rally.

[Interlude 2]
[D]

[Verse 5]
It's a very sad thing to [D]see that my
[F#m]mother with all her heart
Be[C]lieves the words that the [F#dim]Bible
[A]said "Til [B]death do us two part".
For [Em]her that was forever and ay,
he de[A]cided her night and day
How [D]could some English words [F#m]so small
af[Bm]fect someone so [C#]strangely?

[Verse 6]
[F#m]Taking her away from [A]us, [Ebdim]her soul included
[B]She mig[Em]ht es well be gone with him,
all the [G]children are ex[Gm]cluded.
[G]Lon[D]eliness is hel[A]l, I know so wel[B]l,
For [Em]I'm [Asus4]alone. Nat[A]urally.

[B]I waited

[Verse 7]
[Bsus4]three weeks for him to [Bm]die
[A]I w[G]aited t[F#sus4]hree weeks
for him to [F#]die[Em][Bm][D]
Every [A]night [C#]he was call[C#m]ing
on [Bm]me[G]
I wouldn't [Em]go to h[D]im.
[C#][C#dim][F#m]
I waited three [A]weeks for him
to [Asus4]die[G]
[Asus4]Three weeks for him to die.

[D]

[Verse 8]
And after he died, after [D]he died
Every night I went out,
[C#]every nigh[A]t I had a flight.
[F#m]It didn't[C] matter who it[A] was with
'Cos I [B]knew what it was about.
And if [Em]you could read between lines,
my [A]Dad and I close as [Em]flies.
[G]I lov[D]ed him then and I lov[A]ed him still,
that's why [Bm]my heart's so[C#] bro[C#]ken.

[Verse 9]
[F#m]Leaving me to doubt [A]God
[Ebdim]in His Mercy
[B]And if [Em]He really does exist then
why does He desert [G]me?
When [D]he passed [D]away I [A]smoked
and drank all [Bm]day,[B]
[Em]Alone. [Em]Again. [G]Nat[Em]urally.
