Version 1With 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
