[G] [F] Evening shadows make me blue
When each [C] weary day
[G] I long to be by
[C]
Every [F] day I read
Dreaming of your tears
[G] Always thinking how
I have been
[F] Moon, is it sin
[C] I've gone by since we shot our deal
Would [G] I hold you again?
[D] I'll be no blue memory [G]
then
[C] Whether [F] skies are grey or blue
Any [C] place on earth will do
[G] Just as long as I'm with you
My
[C] happiness
[F] A million years it seems
I've [C] gone by since we shot our deal
Would I [G] hold you again?
[Dm] I'll be no blue [G] memory then
[Em]
Whether skies [F] are grey or blue
Any [C] place on earth will do

If you find [E] your sweetheart
[F] In the arms of a friend

[G]
[C] When [Em] dreams [E] of a lifetime
Must [F] come to an end
[C] [G] When heartless [C] [F] begins

[G] Into your love's love's bed
[C] That's the end [E] of your sweetheart
[F] That's the end of your [C] [G] heartless
When your [C] heartless begins
