NB!!
The Chords as written into the lyrics, might not fit exact on the beat.
So you'll benefit from listen to the song, and play along With it.
The beat is in 2/4- measure, as i'd interped it
NOte that “Salvation Army” fingerings won’t do!
Use fingerings in positions V - IX ; and you’re on!
Good Luck; & ENJOY!

How delicate the tracery of her fine lines

Like a song half heard through a closed door
Bb Am7 Gm Gm
Like an old book when you cannot read the writing anymore

How innocent her visage as my child lover lies

Pressed against the rainswept windy windows of my eyes

Like an antique etching glass design
Eb F C/E
That somehow turned out wrong
Bbmaj Am Am
I keep looking through old varnish
Bb Am
At my late lover's body
Bb Am
Caught on ancient canvas

And decaying...disappearin

Repeat Chord sequence of 1st verse
How secretly and silently my sorrow disappears
You can't see it with your eyes or hear it with your ears
It's like a Watermark that's never there and never really gone
I keep looking through old varnish
At my late lover's body
Caught on ancient canvas
And decaying...disappearing
Even as I sing this song
Even as I sing this song
Even as I sing this song
