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