G                                  Em		
You don't say that you love him
C	         D	
But it shows in every word
G                                  Em	
When he played his favourite music
C	         D
Was the best you'd ever heard
G                                  Em	
And you tell me that he couldn't watch
C                D
The violence cut by men
G                                  G	
When all is quiet throughout the land
C             D
I hope you meet again

Chorus
G   D                       G
I hope you'll meet again
C   G                       D
I hope you'll meet again
G   D                       G
I hope you'll meet again
C   G                       D
I hope you'll meet again
G                                  Em	
His feelings were as deep for you
C            D
And maybe even more
G                                  Em	
Though you probably didn't show it
C	         D
You knew his heart was sure
G                                  Em	
Though he left without  a single word
C               D
It's better in the end
C                                  G	
There are no words to say goodbye
C	 D
I hope you meet again
Chorus:
G                       Em	
I never even met him
C	         D
But I know we'd be a pair
G                                  Em	
We'd have sat in any pub in town
C	         D
And had a good time there
G                                  Em	
But there's something left between us
C               D
Stands in both our ways
C                                        G	
When all these things are sorted out
C	         D
I hope we'll meet some day
Chorus:
G                             Em	
You tell me of his interests
C	         D
How he loved the sound of trains
G                                  Em	
Whenever you hear that whistle
C              D
It's calling out his name
G                                  Em	
All the lonely years you suffered
C                 D
Remembering back when
C                                         G	
The days seemed so much longer
C           D
I hope you meet again
Chorus:
