Watermark Chords by Art Garfunkel

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ How _ _ _ _ delicate the tracery [Bb] of her [Gm] fine [C] lines, Like [F] the moonlight lay [Bb] tops of evening [Eb] _ [C] pines,
[F] Like a song [Bb] half heard through [Eb] the closed door, [C] _
[Bb] Like an old book [Am] when you cannot [Gm] read the writing anymore.
_ _ [Dm] How innocent her visage as [Bb] my child [Gm] lover lies,
[C] _ _ [F] Pressed [Bb] against the rain-swept [Eb] wavy windows of [C] my eyes,
[F] Like an antique [Bb] etching, last in [Eb] time, and somehow [C] turned out wrong.
[Bb] Like a look through old [Am] varnish, [Bb] at my late [Am] lover's body,
_ _ [Bb] Caught on ancient [Am] canvas, _ [F] and _ decaying, [Am] _
disappearing,
_ [Dm] _ _ [F] _ [Bb] Even as a [D] sinner's song.
_ _ [Bb] _
_ [Gm] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Eb] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Am] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] How secretly and silently my sorrow [Gm]
disappears,
[C] _ [F] You can't [Bb] see it with your [Eb] eyes or hear it with [C] your ears,
It's [F] like a watermark [Bb] that's never there [Eb] and will only be [C] gone.
Like [Bb] a look through [Am] old varnish, _ [Bb] at my late [Am] lover's body,
Caught [Bb] on [Am] ancient canvas, and [F] _
decaying, _ [Am] _ _ _ [Dm] disappearing,
_ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ I [C] swear to you, _ [Bb] even as I sing [C] this song,
_ _ [Bb] Even as I sing [C] this song, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
