[Verse 1]

E C G A
When I was younger
E C G A
A part-time job worker
E C G A
Department store centre
E C G A
I saw a man enter
E C G A
He was middle-aged
E C G A
Deep lines on his face
E C G A
Tight mouth and eyes glazed
E C G A
Eyelids just half-raised


[Chorus 1]

E G A
And I looked at him, he looked at me
E G A
He looked so sad, I had to see
E G A
What did he want, what could it be
E G A
What had he been through before me
D C
Seeing him in the store, I worked for
E C G A
That year
E C G A
That year


[Verse 2]

E C G A
Ice skates he asked for
E C G A
In the middle of summer
E C G A
He wanted a good pair
E C G A
The price he did not care
E C G A
I looked for his size
E C G A
Our best pair he tried
E C G A
Custom back and sides
E C G A
Excitement in his eyes


[Chorus 2]

E G A
And I looked at him, he looked at me
E G A
He looked so sad, I had to see
E G A
What did he want, what could it be
E G A
What had he been through before me
D C
Seeing him in the store, I worked for
E C G A
That year
E C G A
That year

[Verse 3]

E C G A
I asked are you a pro
E C G A
He looked sad and said no
E C G A
These skates are my last hope
E C G A
Without them I cannot cope


[Chorus 3]

E G A
And he said my wife, she drowned this summer
E G A
Behind our house, the river took her
E G A
I cannot swim, I need to find her
E G A
I will wait, till it freezes over
D C
And then I will skate, as far as it takes
D C
I will skate, as far as it takes
E C G A
To bring her back home
E C G A
To bring her back home
E C G A
To bring her back home
E
Back home
