Poem by Edward Thomas

lyrics

Gone, Gone Again
BY EDWARD THOMAS

Intro: Gm Cm x4

Gm Cm
Gone, gone again,
D Gm
May, June, July,
Fm Bb
And August gone,
Cm
Again gone by,

Eb Bb
Not memorable
Fm Gm
Save that I saw them go,
Cm Gm
As past the empty quays
Cm Gm
The rivers flow.

And now again,
In the harvest rain,
The Blenheim oranges
Fall grubby from the trees,

Ab Eb
As when I was young—
Fm Cm
And when the lost one was here—
Gm Cm
And when the war began
Bb Ab
To turn young men to dung.

Look at the old house,
Outmoded, dignified,
Dark and untenanted,
With grass growing instead

Eb Bb
Of the footsteps of life,
Fm Gm
The friendliness, the strife;
Cm Gm
In its beds have lain
Cm F
Youth, love, age, and pain:

I am something like that;
Only I am not dead,
Still breathing and interested
In the house that is not dark:—

Ab Eb
I am something like that:
Fm Ab
Not one pane to reflect the sun,
Gm Cm
For the schoolboys to throw at—
Bb Ab
They have broken every one.

Instrumental verse 1, 2 and 8 end on Cm
