Difficulty: Novice


Verse:

FF
Darkness falls
                   C majorC
Around your window pane
  FF
A augmentedA light still burns
                       C majorC
But just a smouldering flame
G+G                 C majorC
Is it the end of another affair
    G+G                   C majorC
An open engagement with gloom
   A augmentedA
Or will you be smiling
         D MajorD
When the sun conjures up
  G+G                        C majorC  A augmentedA G+G
A augmentedA broken spell au clair de lu-u-une?


Verse:

FF
Silhouette
                C majorC
As you draw the shade
FF
Cloak of night
                     C majorC
You know it's tailor-made
G+G
G-Plan gymnastics
       C majorC
By an everglow fire
G+G                    C majorC
Could never mean the same
   A augmentedA
As summer enchantment
      D MajorD
By an old mill steam
     G+G                      C majorC  A augmentedA G+G
From courtly love to costly ga-a-ame

Bridge:

Bb majorBb          GbGb
  Maybe I'm wrong for seeming
Bb majorBb            GbGb
  Ungrateful, unforgiving
DmDm                          C majorC
Oh! how it hurts now you're finally leaving
A augmentedA                 G+G
I couldn't take anymore


Verse:

FF
Now's the time!
            C majorC
Let's hide away
FF
Sacred hours
                 C majorC
Saved from yesterday
G+G                     C majorC
Boo-hoo willows weep around you still
G+G                     C majorC
Mirror reflections of dew
    A augmentedA                     D MajorD
But waterfall pages of an open book
      G+G                   C majorC
Could shower new horizons soon
         A augmentedA
Call the tune
         G+G
Will you swoon
     C majorC
As I croon
     FF
Your serenade
