Richard Thompson - The Poor Boy Is Taken Away

the poor boy is taken away

E
gold – haired poor boy , you took him for fun
A B E
he dressed for the tinkering trade
A B E
he dressed for the tinkering trade
A D E A Bm F#m
now the poor boy is taken away

E
no use waiting like a ghost in a dream
A B E
the world has no comfort to bring
A B E
the world has no comfort to bring
A D E F#m A F#m A D F#m
he left you to get everything

no use standing , waving adieu
the penny won’t drop in your mind
the penny won’t drop in your mind
the old flame’s left you behind

no use crying in a room full of memories
you never will find yesterday
you never will find yesterday
and the poor boy is taken away
