Capo 5
G C G
When I was young as each day would wind down
C G
I would walk through the streets of this dusty old town
Am G C
Past the store and saloon, and the cemetery
G D G
And each night the same lovebirds I'd see
G C G
They'd smile and they'd wave as they'd amble on by
C G
They would laugh, tradin' pulls from a flask of cheap rye
Am G C
And in all the years since I still ain't seen a love
G D G
Near as pure as those old turtledove's
G C G
One night in the graveyard, only one could I see
C G
On their knees underneath an old sycamore tree
Am G C
They had tears in their еyes, but a smile on their facе
G D G
While a name on the headstone they traced, whispering
C G
The light of the moon is the sun
D D7 Em
Yet only in darkness it shines
C G
Death and life are harmonies sung
D C G
The two, truly one, as lovers entwined"
G C G
I drew near them with care, but my words tumbled down
C G
I said "How can you live when your love's in the ground?"
Am G C
And they reached up to me and I helped them to stand
G D G
And they took my face in their old weathered hands, whispering
C G
The light of the moon is the sun
D D7 Em
Yet only in darkness it shines
C G
Death and life are harmonies sung
D C G
The two, truly one, as lovers entwined"
G C G
Years passed and that plot grew another gravestone
C G
And now, breathing the night air, I kneel here alone
