  E       B7         Dbm      E          A6         B7     E
a girl so sweet that when she smiled the stars rose in the sky.

We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree
    F           A               Bm7      E7         A7
the music of her laughter hid my father's words from me:

One day she left without a word. She took away the sun.
    E      B7       Dbm    E       A6        B7      E
And in the dark she left behind, I knew what she had done.
      A       G     A             A      G        Gbm
She'd left me for another, it's a common tale but true.

a sadder man but wiser now I sing these words to you:
