This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

LYRICS:

******

VERSE 1

i remember all my life

rainin' down as cold as ice

shadows of a man

a face through a window

cryin' in the night

the night goes to mornin'

just another day

happy people pass my way

lookin' in their eyes

and i see a memory

i never realized

how happy you made me

CHORUS

oh mandy

well you came and you left without takin'

i sent you away, oh mandy

well, you kissed me and stopped me from shakin'

i sent you away

VERSE 2

standin' on the edge of time

i walked away when love was mine

caught up in a world of uphill climbin'

tears in my eyes

nothin's rhymin'

just another day

happy people pass my way

lookin' in their eyes

i see a memory

i never realized

how happy you made me

CHORUS (2x)

BRIDGE

yesterday's a dream

i face the mornin'

cryin' on a breeze

yhe pain is callin', oh mandy ..... oh mandy

CHORUS (3x)

oh mandy ... woah

oh mandy ... woah

oh mandy
