To A Scrapyard Bus Stop

Charlie Parr


Tom: G

G               D          F          C
There‘s someone out there, Out in the snow
G               D        F           C
I think that I knew her, long time ago
G         D        F             C
Homemade outfit, frayed cap and gloves
G        D           F           C
She is a monument, a tribute cause.

[Chorus]
Am           C         Am                C
It must be a bus stop, there through the snow
Am                   C             Am           G    D    F   C
The wind whips right through her, thin winter coat   (Mm-hmm)

[Verse]
G                   D         F                      C
She pulls a cart behind her, there are tracks in the snow
G                D            F            C
That lead to her possessions, tied up just so.
G             D         F               C
I know that I knew her, but I can't say how

G                 D       F             C
Long time before anyway, the way she is now.
G                   D       F                    C
There's someone out there, but I can't make her out
G         D              F               C
Salvation Army shoes on, sole all walked out.

[Chorus]
Am            C         Am         C
I know that I knew her, we were in love
Am             C       Am              C
Long time gone anyhow, there comes the bus

[Verse]
G            D         F            C
Crowd pushes past her, no one looks twice
G                     D       F               C
She looks through her window, and I catch her eye
G                D    F        C
She doesn't know me, She looks away.
G                 D        F                C       G
The bus slowly disappears through the snowy haze.
