Intro:
G    C    G x2


   G                     C           G
You wave at the sky with wide lovely eyes
G                  C       G
Waves and waves of love go by
G                               C       G
And through the garden with your secret key
G                     C           G        D
Down the tunnel that leads to the sea
                  C                G        D
Step on the beach beneath the iron skies
                       C           G        D
You wave and wave your wide lovely eyes
                  C        G
Crystal waves and waves of love
    D        C       G
You wave and say goodbye

C   G  x2

     G                     C           G
Your dress sides with your wide lovely strides
    G                               C           G
And all along the street lately the stories are bound
    G                                  C                  G
They've dismantled the fun fair and they've shut down the rides
   G                               C                    G         D
They've hung the mermaids from the streetlights by their hair
                              C           G         D
And with wide lovely eyes you wave at the sky
                         C           G          D
And near the high window watching the ride
                          C        G
The waves of blue and the waves of love
    D        C      G
You wave and say goodbye

C   G

                    C           G
The night expands, I am expanding
G                      C            G
I watch your hands like butterflies landing
G                           C         G
All among the myths and the 🏷Legends we create
    G                       C            G
And all the laughing stories we tell our friends

Close the windows, clear up the mess
            C          G
It's getting late, it's darker and closer to the end

C    G    D

                       C        G    D
Through the tunnel and down the sea
                          C           G     D
And on the pebble beach releases you entire
                       C       G      D
And arrange your shoes side by side
                       C           G    D
You wave and wave with wide lovely eyes
                  C        G
Distant waves and waves of distant love
    D        C   G
You wave and say goodbye


Repeat G until end.

THE END!
