G5                   C5          G5    
I heard her sing in tongues of silver 
G5           D5                G5 
I heard her cry on a summer storm 
             C5               G5 
I loved her, but she did not know it 
           D5                  G5     
So I don't think about her anymore 
C5                             G5 
Now she's gone, and I can't believe it 
                  D5        G5 
So I don't think about her anymore 
 
 
G5                      C5     G5 
If three and four were seven only 
                       D5       G5 
Where would that leave one and two 
                   C5        G5 
If love can be and still be lonely 
                      D5      G5 
Where does that leave me and you? 
C5                              G5 
Time there was, and time there will be 
                      D5      G5 
Where does that leave me and you? 
 
 
G5          C5        G5 
If I had a buckskin stallion 
                      D5    G5 
I'd tame him down and ride away 
           C5      G5 
If I had a flyin' schooner 
                  D5        G5 
I'd sail into the light of day 
C5                  G5 
If I had your love forever 
              D5        G5 
Sail into the light of day 
 

G5                C5      G5   
Pretty songs and pretty places 
                 D5     G5    
Places that I've never seen 
                 C5      G5 
Pretty songs and pretty faces 
                   D5        G5 
Tell me what their laughter means 
C5                          G5 
Some look like they'll cry forever 
                   D5        G5 
Tell me what their laughter means 
 

G5          C5        G5 
If I had a buckskin stallion 
                      D5    G5  
I'd tame him down and ride away 
           C5      G5   
If I had a golden galleon 
                  D5        G5 
I'd sail into the light of day 
C5                  G5  
If I had your love forever 
              D5        G5 
Sail into the light of day
