 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
