Lost Boys Calling
Capo I (Every chord is really a half-step higher than written)
*=single notes (no chord)
               C*
Come hold me now
         F*
I am not gone
G*                                 C*
I would not leave you here alone
In this dead cFalm beneath the wavAbes
I can still Am7hear those lAm7/Dost     boys Gcalling
You could not Cspeak
You were afrFaid
                         GAb*    Am7  
To take the risk of being left again
And so you Gtipped your hat anAm7d waved anGd then
DmYou turned back up the gangway of that Gsteel tomb again
CHORUS (2x, 2nd time with ?she holds? and ?we?)
And in CMott Street in FJuly
When I Dm7hear those seabirds G7cry
I Fhold the Em7child, the Am7child in the Fman
The G7child that we G/Bleave beChind
The spotlight Cfades
The boys disFband,
the Gfinal notes lie mute upon the Csand
           F              Ab*
And in the silence of the grave
I can still heAm7ar those lost bAm7/Doys calliGng
We left them Cthere
When they were Fyoung
The Gmen  were gone until the west was Cwon
                    F                        Ab*
And now there's nothing left but time to kill
You never Am7took us Am7/Dfishing, Dad
And Gnow you never will
CHORUS I
Notes:
1. Not sure about the Ab as a single note, but I can?t figure out a chord here. I tried 
F/Ab, but it didn?t sound right. 
2. Not sure about the G/B either.
3. I also had a bit of trouble with the "and so you tipped your hat and waved" line. I'm 
sure that what I have is correct, but would welcome suggestions.
