 F      Gm7
Another day is at end
C               Fsus4   F       F/E     Dm
Mama says she's tired again
        Dm/C            Em7             A7      Bb              Csus4
No one can even begin to tell her

F        Gm7
I hardly know what to say
C               Fsus4   F       F/E     Dm
But maybe it's better that way
 Dm/C           Em7             A7      Bb       Csus4
If papa were here I'm sure he'd tell her

F          Gm7                 F             Bbsus4  Bb
Shannon is gone I hope she's drifting out to sea
F          Gm7             Eb           Csus4
She always loved to swim away
F            Gm7               F            Bbsus4  Bb
Maybe she'll find an island with a shady tree
F             Eb      Bb       Dm       G7
Just like the one in our backyard

F          Gm7
Mama tries hard to pretend
C               Fsus4   F       F/E     Dm
Things will get better again
Dm/C            Em7                 A7          Bb       Csus4
Somehow she's keeping it all inside her

    F           Gm7
But finally the tears fill our eyes
C                 Fsus4 F          F/E     Dm
And I know that somewhere tonight
  Dm/C          Em7              A7        Bb       Csus4
She knows how much we really miss her

F          Gm7                 F              Bbsus4  Bb
Shannon is gone I hope she's drifting out to sea
F          Gm7             Eb           Csus4
She always loved to swim away
F            Gm7                F            Bbsus4  Bb
Maybe she'll find an island with a shady tree
F             Eb      Bb       Dm       G7
Just like the one in our backyard

 Bb             Eb      Bb           F  Bb
Just like the one in our backyard
