 A                   D          A
I heard her sing in tongues of silver
 A                   E       A
I heard her cry on a summer storm
  A                  D         A
I loved her, but she did not know it
  A                        E    A
So I don't think about her anymore
 D                    G        D
Now she's gone, and I can't believe it
 A                         E    A
So I don't think about her anymore


A                      D      A
If three and four were seven only
  A                    E       A
Where would that leave one and two
 A                  D        A
If love can be and still be lonely
  A                   E      A
Where does that leave me and you?
 D                   G          D
Time there was, and time there will be
 A                    E       A
Where does that leave me and you?

 A          D        A
If I had a buckskin stallion
 A                    E     A
I'd tame him down and ride away
A           D       A
If I had a flyin' schooner
A                 E        A
I'd sail into the light of day
D              G     D
If I had your love forever
A              E       A
Sail into the light of day

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

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