Leon

G G Leon came along F To see me on the road C Em He took the time to come backstage Am D And make himself known G And although we'd never been real close F As friends we'd shared some times C Em Worked the clubs once traveled music Am D Together for a while C D G Gdim7 Leon you've been away too long Am D G G4 G G4 G The world ain't still the way it used to be C D Em A Leon you've been away too long F C G To turn your back now on your family G Tomorrow I'll be in Amsterdam F He smiled and shook my hand C Em Wished me all success and I said Am D Try to understand G But I envy you he said F And I tried to share his loss C Em And I told him how the road was still as Am D Tough as it was C D G Gdim7 Leon you've been away too long Am D G G4 G G4 G The world ain't still the way it used to be C D Em A Leon you've been away too long F C G To turn your back now on your family G My plane flew into Amsterdam F And lying in my room C Em I heard the news how Leon died Am D That very afternoon G I telephoned my flowers F With some words I hoped were kind C Em With our backstage conversation Am D Still burning in my mind C D G Gdim7 Leon you've been away too long Am D G G4 G G4 G The world ain't still the way it used to be C D Em A Leon you've been away too long F C G To turn your back now on your family C D G Gdim7 Oh Leon you've been away too long Am D G G4 G G4 G The world ain't still the way it used to be C D Em A Leon you've been away too long F C G To turn your back now on your family (fade out...)
