With Capo on 4th fret
[Intro]
A-E-B-E
[Verse 1]
E B
Another sunny day, I met you up in the garden
F#m C#m
You were digging plants, I dug you, beg your pardon
A E
I took a photograph of you in the herbaceous border
B E
It broke the heart of men and flowers and girls and trees
[Verse 2]
E B
Another rainy day, we’re trapped inside with a train set
F#m C#m
Chocolate on the boil, steamy windows when we met
A E
You’ve got the attic window looking out on the cathedral
B E
And on a Sunday evening bells ring out in the dusk
[Bridge]
E-B F#m-C#m A-E-B-E
[Verse 3]
E B
Another day in June, we’ll pick eleven for football
F#m C#m
We’re playing for our lives the referee gives us fuck all
A E
I saw you in the corner of my eye on the sidelines
B E
Your dark mascara bids me to historical deeds
[Verse 4]
E B
Everybody’s gone you picked me up for a long drive
F#m C#m
We take the tourist route the nights are light until midnight
A E
We took the evening ferry over to the peninsula
B C#m
We found the avenue of trees went up to the hill
B E
That crazy avenue of trees, I’m living there still
[Verse 5]
E B
There’s something in my eye a little midge so beguiling
F#m C#m
Sacrificed his life to bring us both eye to eye
A E
I heard the Eskimos remove obstructions with tongues, dear
B C#m
You missed my eye, I wonder why, I didn’t complain
B E
You missed my eye, I wonder why, please do it again
[Verse 6]
E B
The lovin is a mess what happened to all of the feeling?
F#m C#m
I thought it was for real; babies, rings and fools kneeling
A E
And words of pledging trust and lifetimes stretching forever
B C#m
So what went wrong? It was a lie, it crumbled apart
B E
Ghost figures of past, present, future haunting the heart
