[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] Just yesterday		 [GmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] morning, they let me		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] know you were		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] gone
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)

on the Perfect Unison] I just can't re-		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] I've seen		 [DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)

on the Perfect Fifth] I've seen		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] rain		 [C7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Unison]
I've seen [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)

on the Perfect Unison]
I've seen [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)

on the Minor Seventh] day
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] My body's		 [GmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] aching and my		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] time is at		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] hand
And I won't [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)

on the Perfect Fifth] flying machines in		 [B♭Major Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] pieces on the ground
