Verse 1:
  C majorC        A minorAm       C majorC         A minorAm
The morning bright and still has laid a frost across the hill
    C majorC     FF       C majorC
And the glory of it takes my breath away
C majorC        A minorAm  C majorC            A minorAm
The birdsong in the trees floating on the ghost of a breeze
       C majorC      FF      C majorC
Says, You're lucky to be a creature alive today
C majorC        G+G        FF      C majorC
The rosy-fingered dawn is changing colour in the east
C majorC           FF     G+G
Like in ancient days we'll never see again

Chorus:
C majorC       A minorAm C majorC        A minorAm
Once we were together, that I do remember
    C majorC      FF      C majorC
All the rest is like a letter in the rain

Verse 2:
C majorC         A minorAm      C majorC       A minorAm
So I go to check my snares, see what night caught unawares
C majorC       FF       C majorC
I take the path along the creek again
C majorC        A minorAm   C majorC         A minorAm
In the garden of delight, a snake slithered into sight
C majorC         FF      C majorC
So we left Eden and headed for the plain
C majorC      G+G         FF       C majorC
Day by day and night by night, she didn't leave my side
C majorC          FF     G+G
Now she never wants to see my face again

Chorus:
C majorC             A minorAm      C majorC        A minorAm
Once we spoke in love's low tongue, all the bells at midnight rung
    C majorC      FF      C majorC
All the rest is like a letter in the rain

Bridge:
DmDm   E minorEm      FF      G+G
There's a river somewhere up around the bend
DmDm   E minorEm        FF      G+G
When it hurts, that river's always been my friend

C majorC G+G FF C majorC C FF G+G
C majorC G+G FF C majorC C FF G+G

Verse 3:
C majorC          G+G          FF       C majorC
The frost has gone now from the hill, like a vision in a dream
C majorC         FF       G+G
You never know when glory will come again

Chorus:
C majorC         A minorAm    C majorC        A minorAm
I remember her dark stare and a braid of nut-brown hair
    C majorC       FF      C majorC
All the rest is just a letter in the rain
