Intro:

      Gadd2  G4add2       [kbd r.B. voicings: A5 - B5 - D5 - G5 , A5 - C5 - D5 - G5 ]

         Gadd2         G4addA
      One day we walked along the sand
         Gadd2  Gadd#4 G4add2      [Gadd#4: G5 - B5 - C#5 - D5 ]
      One day in early Spring
      C#5       F#5  B5
      You held a piper in your hand
         B5       E5     A5  Aadd2   [ B5 : F#5 - A5 - C#5 - D; Aadd2: B5 - C#5 - E5 ]
      To mend it's broken wing
          G5     A5   D5    D5
      Now I'll remember many a day
          Bm7-5  E7-(b9)5 A5
      And many a lonely mile
          A5  C5  B5     E5  [r.B5 : F#5 - B5 - D5 ]
      The echo of a piper's song
          A5    D5      G5   B5
      The shadow of your smile

Verse 1:

                         F#5
      The shadow of your smile
           B5 B7-9+5     E5     A5
      When you        are gone
                          A5
      Will follow all my dreams
          D5  D7-9+5     G5  C5
      And light       the dawn
                   F#m7-5  B7-(b9)5 B5     E5   E5
      Look into my eyes my love        and see
                     C#m7-5     F#5 F#7-9+5   F#5  B5
      All the lovely things you are          to me

Verse 2:

          E5            F#5
      Our wistful little star
           B5 B7-9+5     E5   A13#11
      Went far        too high
                             A5      D5 D5    Bm7-5
      A teardrop kissed your lips and so        did I
      E7-(b9)5 E5        A5             C5
             Now when I remember Spring
      F5                B5       F5
      All the joys that love can bring
      E5 E7-9+5      A5    Eb5
            I will be remembering
      A5    A5    [ G5 ]
      The shadow of your smile

Coda:

      [string tag which I haven't transcribed yet]

      [final chord sounds like a polychord: G major in the left hand,
      A major in the right, with vibes adding a high G# on top]
