Em
His family taught him right from wrong
With local tales and children's songs
Am
Sunday school was his shelter
D
With his friends Joe and Walter
Em
Now those days seem far away
An empty swing where he once played
Am
Now Bill's grown so fat and bold
D
He never thought that he'd grow old
Chorus
[G] [C] [D]
And everyday when he gets the train
[G] [C] [D]
Looks out the window and thinks in vain
C D Em
If I could only be that boy again
Em
His sales job it gets him down
Same old faces, same old sounds
Am
Heart attacks, orthopaedic backs
D
Documents and labelled racks
Em
His wife can't stand the sight of him
With his routine glass of gin
Am
She makes his lunch of processed ham
D
And waits in for the meter man
Chorus
[G] [C] [D]
And everyday when he gets the train
[G] [C] [D]
Looks out the window and thinks in vain
C D Em
If I could only be that boy again

Am C D Em
If he could be that boy again
Em
Another day, another gin
His kids don't even notice him
Am
Something different about his face
D
His happy smile seems out of place
Em
His family gathered round for tea
Eyes fixed on their new telly
C
A news flash came, then it said
D
Bill McCai was just found dead
Chorus
[G] [C] [D]
No more windows, no more trains
[G] [C] [D]
Hung himself out in the rain
C D Em
Now he'll never be that boy again
And we say...
Am C D Em
Bye bye Bill McCai
Am C D Em
Bye bye Bill McCai
Am C D Em
Bye bye Bill McCai
