            C                                        C (+optional G on the light E string)
It was a day in that blue month september
              F                                           C
Silent beneath the plum trees' slender shade
                Am
I held her there
                                Dm
My love, so pale and silent
              G                                         C
As if she were a dream that must not fade
               F                                    C
Above us in the summer shinning heaven
                   Am                                         Dm
There was a cloud my eyes dwelled long upon
                  G                               Dm
It was quite white and very high above us
                      G
Then I looked up
                                  C
And found that it had gone

                       C                                  C(+optional G on the light E string)
And since that day, so many moons in silence
         F                                                 C
Have swum across the sky and gone below
                        Am                                         Dm
The plum trees surely have been chopped for firewood
                 G                                           C
And if you ask, how does that love seem now
              F                            C
I must admit, I really can't remember
               Am                                      Dm
Though I know what you are trying to say
                     G                                   Dm
But what that face was like, I know no longer
         G                                   C
I only know I kissed it on that day


                C                          C(+optional G on the light E string)
As for the kiss, I long ago forgot it
                 F                                     F
But for the cloud that floated in the sky
                  Am                            Dm
I know that still and shall forever know it
                  G                                     C
It was quite white and moved in very high
               F                                         C
It may be that the plum trees still are blooming
                      Am                                   Dm
That woman's seventh child may now be there
                    G                                         Dm
And yet that cloud had only bloomed for moments
            G
When I looked up
                            C
