[Pre-Intro] No Capo (probably need a second guitar) Can be played from 7th fret capo'd position, but
it's a finger knotter and it doesn't flow as well as the open arpeggio does -IMO.
Briskly... slowing

[Verse 1]
Am
The days grow short, the nights are gone
A7sus4
Since you were here, I can't go on
Am
I cried for you, to no avail
A7sus4
Now my life runs cold when the night winds wail
[Pre-Chorus]
D D7
But I cheat the hangman, cheated him many times before
A7sus4
The bell that tolls the hour has turned sweet lips to sour
D D7
Yes, I cheat the hangman and even when life has flown away
A7sus4
I leave a kiss behind
[Intro (Play Once)]
[Verse 2]
Am
The rain that fell upon my stone
A7sus4
Like tears you cry, I shed alone
Am
I walk the night, I cannot sleep
A7sus4
The love you spend you cannot reap
[Pre-Chorus]
D D7
But I cheat the hangman, cheated him many times before
A7sus4
The bell that tolls the hour has turned sweet lips to sour
D D7
Yes, I cheat the hangman and even when life has flown away
[Chorus]
F Em
I leave a kiss behind
F Em Em(add9)
The glow of love will shine
Dm Em F G Am (pre-intro)
Lighted windows stare at the stranger there returning home
Dm Em F G Am (pre-intro)
Only lighted windows stare at the lonely stranger there returning home
