Hi, I searched the internet far and wide for this classic 60's hit and couldn't
find a tab for it, so I decided to tab it for everyone. I hope you enjoy it.
I play it picking style by hitting the root note then the G-B-e-B-G strings.
Examples of three chords:
e------------0----- e---------2----- e-------------3-------|
B----------1---1--- B-------3---3--- B----------0-----0----|
G--------0--------0 G-----2--------2 G-------0-----------0-|
D-----X------------ D---0----------- D-----X---------------|
A---3-------------- A-X------------- A---X-----------------|
E-X---------------- E-X------------- E-3-------------------|
Intro:
It is the evening of the day,
I sit and watch the children play.
Smiling faces I can see, but not for me, 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.
Instrumental: X2
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, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm...Fade
