I looked out this morning and the sun was gone,
D Dsus4 D Csus9 G/B G
Turned on some music to start my day,
D Dsus4 D Csus9 G/B G
Then lost myself in a familiar song.
D Dsus4 D
I closed my eyes and I

slipped away. (Gtr solo 1)

Main riff
D Dsus4 D Csus9 G/B G
So many people have come and gone,
D Dsus4 D Csus9 G/B G
Their faces fade as the years go by,
D Dsus4 D Csus9 G/B G
Yet I still recall as I wonder on
D Dsus4
As clear as the sun in
Csus9 G/B
the summer sky (Gtr Solo 2)
