Shanghai Breezes
John Denver (klr)

[Em7] - [A7] -[D] - [A7]
Its [D] funny how you [A] sound as if youre [F#m] right next [G]
door
When you?re [D] really half a [Bm] world away [Em] - [A7]
I [D] just can?t seem to [A] find the words I?m [F#m] looking [G]
for
To [D] say the things that [Bm] I need to say [Em] - [A7]
I [D] can?t remember [A] when I felt so [F#m] close to [G] you
It?s [D] almost more than [Bm] I can bear [Em] - [A7]
[D] Though I seem a [A] half a million [F#m] miles from [G] you
You are [D] in my heart and [Bm] living there [Em] - [A7]

And the [D] moon and the [G] stars are the same [D] ones you [Bm]
see
It?s the [Em] same old sun up [A7] in the [D] sky [A7]
And your [D] voice in my [G] ear is like heav [D] en to [Bm] me
Like the [Em] breezes here in [A7] old Shanghai [D]

[Em] - [F#m] -[G] - [A7]
There are [D] lovers who walk [A] hand in hand [F#m] in the [G] park
And [D] lovers who walk [Bm] all alone [Em] - [A7]
There are [D] lovers who lie [A] unafriad [F#m] in the [G] dark
And [D] lovers who [Bm] long for [Em] home [A7]
I [D] couldn?t leave you [A] even if I [F#m] wanted [G] to
You?re [D] in my dreams and [Bm] always near [Em] - [A7]
And es [D] pecially when I [A] sing the songs I [F#m] wrote for [G]
you
You are [D] in my heart and [Bm] living there [Em] - [A7]

And the [D] moon and the [G] starts are the same [D] ones you [Bm]
see
It?s the [Em] same old sun up [A7] in the [D] sky [A7]
And your [D] face in my [G] dreams is like heav [D] en to [Bm] me
Like the [Em] breezes here in [A7] old Shanghai [D]

[Em] Shanghai breezes [F#m] cool and clear [Bm] ing
[G] Evenings sweet [A7] caress [D]
[Em] Shanghai breezes [F#m] soft and gen [D] tle
Re [G] minds me of [Em] your tender [A7] ness

||: And the [D] moon and the [G] stars are the same [D] ones you [Bm]
see
It?s the [Em] same old sun up [A7] in the sky [D] - [A7]
And your [D] love in my [G] life is like heav [D] en to [Bm] me
Like the [Em] breezes here in [A7] old Shanghai [D] - [A7] :||
[D] Just like the [Em] breezes here in [A7] old Shang [D] hai
