G                   C          G    
I heard her sing in tongues of silver 
G           D                G 
I heard her cry on a summer storm 
             C               G 
I loved her, but she did not know it 
           D                  G     
So I don't think about her anymore 
C                             G 
Now she's gone, and I can't believe it 
                  D        G 
So I don't think about her anymore 
 
 
G                      C     G 
If three and four were seven only 
                       D       G 
Where would that leave one and two 
                   C        G 
If love can be and still be lonely 
                      D      G 
Where does that leave me and you? 
C                              G 
Time there was, and time there will be 
                      D      G 
Where does that leave me and you? 
 
 
G          C        G 
If I had a buckskin stallion 
                      D    G 
I'd tame him down and ride away 
           C      G 
If I had a flyin' schooner 
                  D        G 
I'd sail into the light of day 
C                  G 
If I had your love forever 
              D        G 
Sail into the light of day 
 

G                C      G   
Pretty songs and pretty places 
                 D     G    
Places that I've never seen 
                 C      G 
Pretty songs and pretty faces 
                   D        G 
Tell me what their laughter means 
C                          G 
Some look like they'll cry forever 
                   D        G 
Tell me what their laughter means 
 

G          C        G 
If I had a buckskin stallion 
                      D    G  
I'd tame him down and ride away 
           C      G   
If I had a golden galleon 
                  D        G 
I'd sail into the light of day 
C                  G  
If I had your love forever 
              D        G 
Sail into the light of day
