'Cause I tried to find heaven, 'Cause I thought that I could
G
I thought that I could

And I thought I loved Harold and really loved John,

Am G
Hallo, song of the willow,

The dreams under my pillow turned to tears that I cried.

Beauty and love are our riddle,
F Am
Never to answer but always to try

And boy, did I try.

I tried with Harold and I tried with John,

I tried with Alphy and almost with Tom.
C F G
I left myself open for the whole world to see,
F(same as verse) Am Am(same as verse)
Now the world is heaven that won't accept me.
C F G
I said goodbye to Harold and goodbye to John,

Goodbye to Alphy and goodbye to Tom.

I loved them so easy and I loved the so free,

Am G F
Oh say, can you see, by the dawn's early light
Am
No light will shine me?
