for emily , whenever i may find her chords ( version 1 )

capo iii

D
what i dream i had :
G
pressed in organdy;
D Cmaj7
clothed in crinoline of smoky burgundy;
G A
softer than the rain .

D
i wandered empty streets
G
down past the shop displays .
D
i heard cathedral bells
Cmaj7
tripping down the alley ways ,
G A
as i walked on .

D
and when you ran to me
G
your cheeks flushed with the night .
D Cmaj7
we walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight ,
G A
i held your hand .

D
and when i awoke
G
and felt you warm and near ,
D Cmaj7
i kissed your honey hair
G A
with my grateful tears .

Cmaj7 G A
oh i love you , girl .
Cmaj7 G A
oh , i love you .
