 On a bright day  she passed  away  in the morning
 It's a cruel way  to take  her away  with no warning
He took  her  hands through every midnight hour
 And they saw her fading  away  like a spring  shower
I  can see a complete  life's time
Pictures  and posters of times  and fashion
Nineteen  years with no reason  or rhyme
Taken  away in a crime  of passion
He stood  to  see if he  could catch her  breathing
 But it was no good,  he understood  she was leaving
He looked  outside  the frosty window pane
 And then he saw her moving  away  with his ?  chain
I  can see a complete  life's time
Pictures  and posters of times  and fashion
Nineteen  years with no reason  or rhyme
Taken  away in a crime  of passion
I see freedom  in sight,  it's a long  climb
 But she would not  give up  the fight  for a long  time
And  I see  a light  go shining into night
 Baby it's all right  we couldn't  have changed  it with second  sight
I  can see a complete  life's time
Pictures  and posters of times  and fashion
Nineteen  years with no reason  or rhyme
Taken  away in a crime  of passion
I  see freedom glittering in the night
I  see freedom but she wouldn't give up  the fight
And  I see  a light  go shining into night
 Baby it's all right  we couldn't  have changed  it with second  sight
And  I see  a light  go shining into night
 Baby it's all right  we couldn't  have changed  it with second  sight

On a [C#m]bright [Ebm]day she [B]passed a[Abm]way in the [C#m]morning [Ebm]       [B]           [Abm]
It's a [C#m]cruel [Ebm]way to [B]take her a[Abm]way with no [C#m]warning [Ebm]       [B]           [Abm]
[C#m]He  [Ebm]took her[B] hands through [Abm]every [C#m]midnight [Ebm]hour    [B]         [Abm]
And they [C#m]saw [Ebm]her [B]fading a[Abm]way like a [C#m]spring shower  [Ebm]         [B]              [Abm]

[A]I can see a com[B]plete life's [C#m]time
[E]Pictures and posters of [B]times and [C#m]fashion
[A]Nineteen years with no [B]reason or [C#m]rhyme
[E]Taken away in a [B]crime of [C#m]passion

[C#m]He  [Ebm]stood to[B] see if he[Abm] could catch her[C#m] breathing   [Ebm]         [B]             [Abm]
But it was [C#m]no  [Ebm]good, he [B]unders[Abm]tood she was [C#m]leaving  [Ebm]        [B]             [Abm]
[C#m]He  [Ebm]looked out[B]side the [Abm]frosty [C#m]window [Ebm]pane     [B]         [Abm]
And then he [C#m]saw [Ebm]her [B]moving a[Abm]way with his [C#m]? chain    [Ebm]          [B]              [Abm]

[A]I can see a com[B]plete life's [C#m]time
[E]Pictures and posters of [B]times and [C#m]fashion
[A]Nineteen years with no [B]reason or [C#m]rhyme
[E]Taken away in a [B]crime of [C#m]passion

[C#m]I   [Ebm]see [B]freedom in [Abm]sight, it's a [C#m]long climb    [Ebm]          [B]               [Abm]
But she [C#m]would [Ebm]not give [B]up the [Abm]fight for a [C#m]long time[Ebm]      [B]          [Abm]
[C#m]And I [Ebm]see a [B]light go [Abm]shining [C#m]into [Ebm]night    [B]        [Abm]
Baby it's [C#m]all [Ebm]right we [B]couldn't have [Abm]changed it with [C#m]second sight [Ebm]     [B]       [Abm]

[A]I can see a com[B]plete life's [C#m]time
[E]Pictures and posters of [B]times and [C#m]fashion
[A]Nineteen years with no [B]reason or [C#m]rhyme
[E]Taken away in a [B]crime of [C#m]passion

[F#]I see freedom glittering in the night
[F#]I see freedom but she wouldn't give [E]up the [B]fight

[C#m]And I [Ebm]see a [B]light go [Abm]shining [C#m]into [Ebm]night    [B]        [Abm]
Baby it's [C#m]all [Ebm]right we [B]couldn't have [Abm]changed it with [C#m]second sight [Ebm]      [B]         [Abm]

[C#m]And I [Ebm]see a [B]light go [Abm]shining [C#m]into [Ebm]night    [B]        [Abm]
Baby it's [C#m]all [Ebm]right we [B]couldn't have [Abm]changed it with [C#m]second sight [Ebm]      [B]         [Abm]
