Verse 1:

A minorAm   FF     G+G     D MajorD    A minorAm
In the half-tone light of a young morning
   C majorC      D MajorD       E MajorE
she sighs and shifts on the pillow.
     FF     G+G     D MajorD         FF
And across her face dancing, the first shadows fly
  G+G        A minorAm
to kiss the Pussy Willow.

Verse 2:

A minorAm   FF       G+G      D MajorD     A minorAm
In her fairy-tale world she's a lost soul singing
    C majorC     D MajorD    E MajorE
in a sad voice nobody hears.
     FF    G+G     D MajorD  FF
She waits in her castle of make-believing
     G+G       A minorAm
for her white knight to appear.

Chorus 1:

A minorAm          C majorC     G+G
Pussy Willow --- down fur-lined avenue
A minorAm              FF     G+G
brushing the sleep from her young woman eyes.
A minorAm                     G+G
Runs for the train --- see, eight o'clock's coming
FF            G+G    D MajorD
cutting dreams down to size again.

  Rest of song half step up

Pussy Willow --- down fur-lined avenue

brushing the sleep from her young woman eyes.
A#mA#m                    G#G#

cutting dreams down to size again.

F#F#       G#G#       D#D#      A#mA#m

an apartment in old Mayfair.
F#F#       G#G#         D#D#       F#F#
Or to fish the Spey, spinning the first run of Spring
G#G#             A#mA#m
or to die for a cause somewhere.

brushing the sleep from her young woman eyes.

cutting dreams down to size again.
