G           A              C  D
  It is the evening of the da-ay
G            A                  C   D
  I sit and watch the children pla-ay
C               D
  Smiling faces I can see
G     D/F#    Em
  but not for me
C                             D
  I sit and watch as tears go by

  My riches can't buy everythi-ing
G          A               C  D
  I want to hear the children si-ing
C            D
  all I hear is the sound
G                 Em
  of rain falling on the ground
C                             D
  I sit and watch as tears go by

  I sit and watch the children pla-ay
C                D
  doing things I used to do
G     D/F#    Em
  they think are new
C                             D
  I sit and watch as tears go by
