FI hear your footsteps down the G7hall..
G7Walkin' away from Cme..
CHORUS:
CWhy did you say goodbye?
AmWhy did you make me cry?
FNow, every day I wonder G7why?
G7Why oh, why oh, why oh?
CFootsteps, Amfootsteps, Ffootsteps, G7footsteps..
#2.
CYou're such a haunting Ammemory.
FI pray that you'll come back to G7me.
CBut as I say my evening Amprayers.
FI hear your footsteps on the G7stairs,
G7Walkin' away from Cme..
CHORUS:
ADD:
CFootsteps, Amfootsteps, Ffootsteps, G7footsteps,
CFootsteps, Amfootsteps, Ffootsteps... (fade)
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
