Lyrics and Chords:
-----------------

D         E              G        A7
It is the evening of the day
D         E                  G    A7
I sit and watch the children play
G             A
Smiling faces I can see
D           Bm
But not for me
G         '                A7     '
I sit and watch as tears go by

My riches can't buy everything
I want to hear the children sing
All I hear is the sound of rain 
falling on the ground
I sit and watch as tears go by

It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Doing things I used to do
They think are new
I sit and watch as tears go by

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, 
hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, 
hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
