 Chords:
I  saw her there fade  from afar
Her  hair gray charcoal
 Takes a drag  from her tar.
 I kissed  her a smile,
 but her blood  red shot eyes
 Said "the son  never shines  on closed doors."
It's  been eight long years  since I saw
 The woman  who's labored
 Since the day  I was born.
 Those wrinkles  now face
 To that cold  dark damp place,
 Where the son  never shines  on closed doors.
 She said the son  never shines  on closed doors
 I open  to find  only hurricanes blow.
Takes  me away,  to the green  fields of May,
 Because the son  never shines  on closed doors.
Death  comes like a thief  in the night
 To steal  while you sleep,
 the soul's flickering light.
 Well maybe  it's then,
 she said I'll see  you again,
 Because the son  never shines  on closed doors.
 She said the son  never shines  on closed doors
 I open  to find  only hurricanes blow.
Takes  me away,  to the green  fields of May,
 Because the son  never shines  on closed doors.
 And we all  go the same  way home,
 yeah we all  go the same  way home.

[G]I saw her there [C]fade from a[G]far
[G]Her hair gray char[C]coal
Takes a [G]drag from her [D]tar.
I [C]kissed her a [D]smile,

Those [C]wrinkles now [D]face
To that [G]cold dark damp [C]place,
Where the [C]son never [D]shines on closed [G]doors.
