MATTHEW (Johnny McEvoy) 3/4 (Use Capo on 1st fret)
Intro
G7-C-F-Am-F-C-G-C
(C)What
are you thinking of (F)Matthew my (Am)friend
As
you (C)sit in your (Am)room all a(G)lone
You
can (C)see the bright lights in the (F)city be(Am)low
In
the (C)place where you (G)once called your (C)home
And
I'm (F)sure you can still hear the (C)laughter and (Am)noise
Of
your (C)kids as they run and they (G)play
And
you (C)thought you were doing the (F)best that you (Am)could
But
it (C)just didn't (G7)work out that (C)way
Chorus:
(F)Just didn't (G7)work out, (C)just didn't (Am)work out
(F)Just didn't (G)work out that (C)way
You (F)thought you were doing the (C)best that you (Am)could
But it (C)just didn't (G7)work out that (C)way
And
your (C)mother's long gone and your (F)father is (Am)too
There's
(C)times you (Am)wish you were (G)dead
And
this (C)morning the nurse took your (F)whiskey a(Am)way
When
she (C)said you're not (G)right in the (C)head
And
(F)when your wife calls you can't (C)think of her (Am)name
And
her (C)visits get shorter each (G)day
And
you (C)wish in your heart you could (F)walk out that (Am)door
But
it (C)just doesn't (G7)work out that (C)way
Chorus
I
can (C)see you've been thinking a(F)gain of the (Am)past
And
the (C)place where the (Am)tall cedar (G)grows
You
re(C)member the evening you (F)planted that (Am)tree
But
I'm (C)sure that no(G)body elce (C)does
And
it (F)grew to the sky as the (C)years drifted (Am)by
And
I'm (C)sure it's still standing to(G)day
But
(C)Matthew it's somebody (F)elces tree (Am)now
Cause
it (C)just didn't (G7)work out that (C)way
Chorus
So
(C)close your eyes Matthew say good (F)night to the (Am)world
There's
a (C)better one (Am)waiting for (G)you
Your
(C)time here is over, it's (F)time to move (Am)on
There's
(C)nothing here (G)left you can (C)do
But
you (F)could have moved mountains and (C)danced on the (Am)moon
You
(C)could have turned night into (G)day
And
you (C)thought you were doing the (F)best that you (Am)could
But
it (C)just didn't (G7)work out that (C)way
Chorus twice
