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

Instrumental:

FF   C majorC
FF   C majorC
G+G  C majorC  G+G  C majorC
A augmentedA  D MajorD  G+G
C majorC  A augmentedA  G+G

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
