[Intro]
| Dmaj7 |
| G6 | G6 | Dmaj7 | Dmaj7 |

[Verse 1]
G6 G6 Dmaj7 Dmaj7
Said he'd build me a courtyard, he promised he would
G6 G6 Dmaj7 Dmaj7
and spend time in my courtyard whenever he could.

[Verse 2]
G6 G6 Dmaj7 Dmaj7
In the corner, a tall tree, so shady and cool,
G6 G6 Dmaj7 Dmaj7
and a white marble fountain in a clear sparkling pool.

[Verse 3]
G6 G6 Dmaj7 Dmaj7
A lovely stone courtyard with a lacy iron gate,
G6 G6 Dmaj7 Dmaj7
and a bountiful garden where I could wait.

[Verse 4]
G6 G6 Dmaj7 Dmaj7
Yes, he built me a courtyard like he promised he would,
G6 G6 Dmaj7 Dmaj7
and I know that he'd come to my side, he would if he could.

[Outro]
G6 Dmaj7 G6 A
Patterns on a courtyard floor, illusions of all I'm living for.
