intro :
Am Em B Em

Em
last night i dreamed again that i was by your side ,
Am
i felt your tender kiss , and with your lips on mine ,
Am Em
my world became , complete again ,
B
beneath the shadow of the mountain ,
Em
we were lovers till the dawn was on the sea ,

Em
but with the morning sun the dream had disappeared ,
Am
and i awoke and still believed that you were here ,
Am Em
but soon the day will come again ,
B
beneath the shadow of the mountain ,
Em
i’ll be with you when my soldier’s work is done ,

C G
when the summer winds begin to blow ,
D Em
that is when i will be sailing to my home ,
C G
to the olive trees and the golden corn ,
Am B
that whispers in the fields up in the hills ,
Em
beyond the place where i was born ,

Em
and here in rome the talk is all about the war ,
Am
as men of caesar we have heard those words before ,
Am Em
and though i’m strong , my heart belongs ,
B
beneath the shadow of the mountain ,
Em
and my lover who is waiting there for me ,

C G
when the summer winds begin to blow ,
D Em
that is when you’ll see the sails that bring me home ,
C G
to the olive trees and the golden corn
Am B
that whispers in the fields up in the hills ,
Em
above pompeii where i was born ,

Em Am
i will return
Em B
beneath the shadow of vesuvius ,
Em Am B Em
we’ll be together till the day we die . . . . .
Em
last night i dreamed again that i was by your side . . . . . . .
