Intro G5 C5 G5 C5 D5 C5 G5 C5 D5 C5 G5
G5
It's all so different now
C5
From just a few weeks ago
D5
When April was about to smile on England
C5                     G5
And I had to go.

G5
So here I am again
C5
Far from where the blackbird sings
D5
And lanes I love to walk along
C5                G5
Lost in my thoughts
D5                    G5
And what of you my love
C5                     D5
Though you're so far away
G5               C5                    D5
Yet so close to me in all I do and see.

C5 G5  C5  D5   C5   G5   C5  D5  C5  G5  

G5
And so on my day off
C5
I could have chosen monuments
D5
Historic chateau, palaces
C5                                 G5
Or finding ways of improving my French
G5
Instead I wandered out alone
C5
Here where woods and fields abound
D5
And in a quiet corner found the resting place
C5                              G5
Of English soldiers killed in war.

D5                     G5
And what of them my love
C5                    D5
Who died so far from home
 G5               C5
No last farewell kiss
                   D5     G5 C5 D5 C5   G5  C5 D5  C5  G5
All that remains is this.

C5                        D5     E5     C5
It makes me so ashamed to feel alone
                   D?         G5   C5
Whatever would they think of me
               D5       G5 C5  D5  
For I shall see my love again.
C5 G5 C5 D5 C5 G5 C5  D5  C5 G5  C5  D5  C5 G5

G5
It's all so different now
C5
From those few years ago
D5
When April smiled so sweetly still
C5                          G5
And they had to go
