Bill Mccai
Em
His family taught him right from wrong
With local tales and children's songs
Am
Sunday school was his shelter
D
With his friends Joe and Walter
Em
Now those days seem far away
An empty swing where he once played
Am
Now Bill's grown so fat and bold
D
He never thought that he'd grow old

And everyday when he gets the train
G C D
Looks out the window and thinks in vain
C D Em(aqui la otra guitarra toca la intro)(here the
If I could only be that boy again | other guitar plays the intro)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Em
His sales job it gets him down
Same old faces, same old sounds
Am
Heart attacks, orthopaedic backs
D
Documents and labelled racks
Em
His wife can't stand the sight of him
With his routine glass of gin
Am
She makes his lunch of processed ham
D
And waits in for the meter man
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ESTRIBILLO(CHORUS):

And everyday when he gets the train

Looks out the window and thinks in vain

Em
Another day, another gin
His kids don't even notice him
Am
Something different about his face
D
His happy smile seems out of place
Em
His family gathered round for tea
Eyes fixed on their new telly
C
A news flash came, then it said
D
Bill McCai was just found dead

No more windows, no more trains

Hung himself out in the rain

Am C D Em
Bye bye Bill McCai
