Verse 1:
  G        C
A slow and steady rain was falling
G       C
In the countryside.
     G        C  Gmaj9
We were gathered in the garden,
  Em      D
The day my daddy died.
  G          C
Although they had been separated,
 G          C
Apart for quite some time,
    G       C    Gmaj9
I saw mother's tears erase the years,
Em         D  D
This young widowed bride.

Chorus 1:
   C          Bm
In springtime she'll be turning sixty
  C       D
And be out on the town.
  C        Bm
I really hope she finds a boyfriend,

A man who stays around.

Verse 2:
   G        C
Well yesterday I was heading west
  G        C
and now I'm headed south
  G        C       Gmaj9
Someone who rails around the world.
    Em      D
She's wandering the house.
  G       C
Oh mother do you hear the footsteps
     G        C
of_your_husband down the hall?
      G      C  Gmaj9
Don't_you_realize the danger
    Em          D  D
Being trapped inside those walls?

Chorus 1:
   C          Bm

And be out on the town.

Bridge:
Em                  G
 And I hope one day that you will be ready,
Em                 G
 Have someone strong right by your side.
Em                   G
 Look back on your life and you surely regret it,
C             D  D  D  D
 Or find some happiness inside.

Verse 3:
G        C
Underneath the willow branches
  G       C
At number twenty-nine,
  G        C   Gmaj9
Another crowd has gathered
      Em      D
And_they're putting up a sign.
G       C
Mother she is moving on,
G        C
She is doing so well.

She put the past behind her,
    Em        D  D
Now_the_house is up for sale.

A man who stays around.
