D A Em
I caught us laughing in a photograph
D A Em D
Long ago back in a faded past
A Em
One had a tomorrow
D
And one was marked for sorrow
G
Sing: whisper the waters whist
G
You wore the crown
C
I played the clown
C
Oh, yeah
G
And you went on to succeed
G C
I was the one one had to bleed
C G Em
Oh, why?
D A Em
There was a party once in town somewhere
D A Em D
Through the bustling crowd I saw you there
A Em
Dawning day for you
Em D
And twilight for me
G
'Cause you were the summer fields
G C
I was the autumn's colored leaves
C
Oh, yeah
G
And wreaths of red rose you'd tie
G C
The willow garlands green got I
C G Em
Oh, why?
Em D
If we played a cruel game
D Em
Your lot gave the gain
Em D
And, Lord, I drew the pain
G
And you claimed a realm to rule
G C
Me, I turned sorrow's funny fool
C
'Tis true
G
But whisper the waters whist
G
You wore the crown
G G G C
I played the clown
