VERSE 1

D C D
Would you join a slow marching band?
F#m G
And take pleasure in your leaving
D Bm A A
as the ferry sails and tears are dried
G Em G
and cows come home at evening.

VERSE 2

D C D
Could you get behind a slow marching band?
F#m G
And join together in the passing
D Bm A A
of all we shared through yesterdays
G Em G
in sorrows neverlasting.

BRIDGE

G D
Take a hand and take a bow.
C G Bm
You played for me; that's all for now,
Em G D
oh, and never mind the words
G-D Em Am C
just hum along and keep on going.

CHORUS

C D Em ///
Walk on slowly -
G C D D D-Dsus4-D
don't look behind you.
C D G Em
Don't say goodbye, love.
G C D
I won't remind you.

VERSE 3

D C D
Dream of me as the nights draw cold
F#m G
still marking time through Winter.
D Bm A A
You paid the piper and called the tune
Bm G Em A A-A
and you marched the band aw - ay.

BRIDGE

G D
Take a hand and take a bow.
C G Bm
You played for me; that's all for now,
Em G D
oh, and never mind the words
G-D Em Am C
just hum along and keep on going.

CHORUS

Walk on slowly -
G C D D D-Dsus4-D
don't look behind you.
C D G Em
Don't say goodbye, love.
G C D D
I won't remind you.

REPEAT CHORUS

don't look behind you.

Don't say goodbye, love.

I won't remind you.
C D D
remind you.
C D D
remind you....
