Verse:

Amaj7Amaj7     Bm/ABm/A
The last time I saw her face
  E MajorE                      Amaj7Amaj7
Her eyes were bathed in starlight and her hair hung long
         Bm/ABm/A
The last time she spoke to me
  E MajorE                           Amaj7Amaj7
Her lips were like the scented flowers inside a rain-drenched forest

Chorus:

D MajorD       E MajorE       D MajorD        A augmentedA        B minorBm     Bm/ABm/A
But that was so long ago that I can scarcely feel the way I felt before
Esus4Esus4  E7E7    A augmentedA
And if time could heal the wounds
        D MajorD             E7sus4E7sus4      E7E7
I would tear the threads away that I might bleed some more


Verse:

Amaj7Amaj7     Bm/ABm/A
The last time I walked with her
E7E7
Her laughter was the steeple bells
D MajorD          E MajorE
That ring to greet the morning sun
D MajorD           E MajorE
A augmentedA voice that called to everyone
D MajorD           E MajorE
To love the ground she walked upon
E7E7        Amaj7Amaj7
Those were good days

Amaj7Amaj7 Bm/ABm/A E/A A augmentedA

Verse:

Amaj7Amaj7     Bm/ABm/A
The last time I held her hand
E MajorE                    Amaj7Amaj7
Her touch was autumn, spring and summer, and winter too
        Bm/ABm/A
The last time I let go of her
E7E7
She walked a way into the night
D MajorD         E MajorE         D MajorD        A augmentedA
I lost her in the misty streets, a thousand months, a thousand years
Esus4Esus4  E7E7    A augmentedA
When other lips will kiss her eyes
   D MajorD        E7sus4E7sus4      E7E7
A augmentedA million miles beyond the moon, that's where she is


Amaj7Amaj7 Bm/ABm/A E/A A augmentedA

Chorus:

D MajorD       E MajorE       D MajorD        A augmentedA        B minorBm     Bm/ABm/A
But that was so long ago that I can scarcely feel the way I felt before
Esus4Esus4  E7E7    A augmentedA
And if time could heal the wounds
        D MajorD             E7sus4E7sus4      E7E7
I would tear the threads away that I might bleed some more


Verse:
Amaj7Amaj7     Bm/ABm/A
The last time I saw her face
E MajorE                    Amaj7Amaj7
Her eyes were bathed in starlight and she walked alone
        Bm/ABm/A
The last time she kissed my cheek
E7E7
Her lips were like the wilted leaves
D MajorD       E MajorE
Upon the autumn covered hills
D MajorD        A augmentedA
Resting on the frozen ground
B minorBm     Bm/ABm/A
The seeds of love lie cold and still
Esus4Esus4  E7E7    A augmentedA
Beneath a battered marking stone
 D MajorD
It lies forgotten

Amaj7Amaj7 Bm/ABm/A
