From: "Dag Rambraut,o92a"
As Tears go by
The Rolling Stones
Verse 1 F G B C
It is the evening of the day
F G B C
I sit and watch the children play
B C7
smiling faces I can see
F Dm
But not for me
B C C7
I sit and watch as tears go by
( And the rest goes with the same chords)
Verse 2
My ritches can't buy everything
I want to hear the children sing
All I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground,
I sit and watch as tears go by.
Verse 3
It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Doing things I used to do
They think on you
I sit and watch as tears go by.
F G B C C7 Dm

| I've never really understood why whomever would be crying watching children play? They lost their own child, regretting their childhood, wishing they had kids of their own? | |

| hmm this song is very interesting... in my opinion I think that he is expressing himself through childhood experiences reflecting on himself now.. I think he realizes that back then you were so care-free and happy as a child, and it's pretty much corrupting and upsetting at the same time to know that as you get older- the same things you once enjoyed are pretty much meaningless to you. For example... kids laugh at things like bugs, being dirty. As an adult, majority of adults would be angered by such things. It's really neat to think about | |

| In her autobiography Marianne Faithfull says they wrote it from the point of view of an older woman. The lyrics can be taken both literally and metaphorically. Also, it was originally As Time Goes By but was changed to Tears to avoid confusion with another song. | |
