A5            C#5
I thought it was Easter time
          E5
the way the light rose
        D5
rose that morning
A5                C#5
Lately you've been on my mind
      E5
You showed me the rope
      D5
ropes to climb
A5
over mountains
      E5
and to pull myself
        D5
out of a landslide
      E5
of a landslide

I thought it was harvest time
You always loved the smell of wood burning
She with her honey hair
Dalhousie Castle
she would meet you there
In the winter
Butter yellow
The flames you stirred
Yes, you could stir

A5
I raise a glass
      E5
Make a toast
  D5            A5
A toast in your honor
A5
I hear your laugh
    E5               D5
and beg me not to dance
      A5      E5
on your right standing by
   D5
is Mr. Bojangles
      A5         E5               D5
With a toast he's telling me it's time
to raise a glass
make a toast A toast in your honor
I hear you laugh and beg me not to dance
'cause on your right standing by
is Mr.Bojangles
with a toast he's telling me it's time
   E5            D5
To let you go Let you go

I thought I'd see you again.
You say you might do
Maybe in a carving
in a cathedral
Somewhere in Barcelona.
