Paul Simon 
With Simon & Garfunkel 1966

INTRO : D  Em  D  Em 

VERSE 1:

        D	       Bm 		G	    F#m
I can hear the soft breathing ,   Of the girl that I love,

D		Em		 A7	
As she lies here beside me    , Asleep with the night,

	D		Bm       G		F#m
And her hair, in a fine mist,	Floats on my pillow,

D	         Em 		 G    A7  	D       Em       D
Reflecting the glow,	Of the winter moonlight.



VERSE 2:

        D	    Bm 		G		     F#m
She is soft, she is warm,       But my heart remains heavy,

	D	,    Em		     A7	
And I watch as her breasts    Gently rise, gently fall,

	D		Bm              G		F#m
For I know with the    first light of dawn   I'll be leaving,      

D	         Em 		 G    A7  	D       Em       D
 And tonight will be        All I have left to recall.

VERSE 3:

      D		Bm 	    G		F#m
Oh, what have I done,      Why have I done it,

	D	Em		A7	
I've committed a crime,       I've broken the law.

	D	     Bm       G		F#m
For twenty-five dollars     And pieces of silver,

D	         Em 		 G    A7  D       Em       D
I held up and robbed       A hard liquor store.

VERSE 4:

    D		Bm 	G		F#m
My life seems unreal,   My crime an illusion,

	D	Em	      A7	
A scene badly written     In which I must play.

	D	Bm      	 G		F#m
Yet I know as I gaze       At my young   love beside me,

D	         Em  G    A7  	D       Em       D
The morning is just a few hours away.
