(F major) He checked his mailbox,
with (B flat major) fingers a-tremblin'
No No (E flat major) mail, from anyone. (D minor)
¡°I'm home¡± he said softly,
as he opened the door
And (G major) gazed at his empty apartment. (C major)

And the (G flat major) sun rose,and the (G flat minor) sunset
As it (D flat major) always has, (A flat major)
And (B flat minor) people yet unknown,
were (G flat major) busy being born, (A flat major)
And time when past.
