_ _ _ _ [B] Through _ the [F#] back window [E] of our 59 wagon [B] I watched my best friend Jamie slipping [F#] further
away [C#] I [D#m] kept [F#] on waving [E] till I couldn't see her
[B] And through my tears I [E] asked again [F#] why [B] we couldn't stay _
Mama whispered softly time [F#] will ease your [E] pain
Life's about [B] changing nothing ever [F#] stays the same
[B] And she said how can I help you [F#] to say [B] goodbye
It's okay to hurt and it's [F#] okay to cry [E] Come [F#] let me hold [B] you and I [E] will try _ _
