Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

   G+G     E minorEm
How sad, how lovely,
   C majorC     D MajorD
How short, how sweet,
   G+G    E minorEm
To see the sunset
    C majorC      G+G
At the end of the street.

     C majorC     G+G
And the day closes in
  C majorC     G+G
To one thin light
      G+G    E minorEm
And the shadows rising
      C majorC      G+G
From the brim of the night.

   E minorEm    BB
Too few, too few
     E minorEm       C majorC
Are the days that will hold
    E minorEm    BB
Your face your face
    C majorC    D MajorD
In a blaze of gold.

   G+G     E minorEm
How sad, how lovely,
   C majorC     D MajorD
How short, how sweet,
   G+G    E minorEm
To see the sunset
    C majorC      G+G
At the end of the street.

   C majorC     G+G
And lights going on
     C majorC      G+G
In the shops and the bars,
     G+G    E minorEm
And the lovers looking
     C majorC      G+G
For the first little stars.

    C majorC
Like life,
      E minorEm
Like your smile,
      C majorC     G+G
Like the fall of a leaf,
   G+G    E minorEm      G+G
How sad, how lovely, how brief.
