In the verses, it switches between C9/G and just open G, as heard on the record.
I'll just write C9/G to keep it simple to read.
[Verse 1]
C9/G C6add9 Am7/D
Red and gold, and Halloween have passed us by,
C9/G C6add9 Am7/D
The charcoal branches lean against the rosy sky,
Bbm/D Am/D Abm/D G
You are so far away, yet I could touch you if I may,
C9/G Am7 Am7/D G
But don't you worry now, I'm only dreaming anyway.
[Verse 2]
C9/G C6add9 Am7/D
You may be lonely, you may be just on your own.
C9/G C6add9 Am7/D
You could be anywhere, someplace that I have known.
Bbm/D Am/D Abm/D G
But who am I and do we really live these days at all?
C9/G C6add9 Am7/D G
And are they simply feelings we have loved and do recall?
[Bridge]
Gmaj7 C6add9
Oh the sea has made me cry,
C2 Gmaj7 C6add9 Am7/D
But I love her, too, so maybe I love you.
[Verse 3]
C9/G C6add9 Am7/D
For tears are only made of salt and water,
C9/G C6add9 Am7/D
And across the waves the sound of laughter.
Bbm/D Am/D Abm/D G
October it has gone and left me with a song
C9/G C6add9 Am7/D G
That I will sing to you although the moment may be wrong.
[Bridge]
Gmaj7 C6add9
Could it be the sea's as real as you and I?
Cm2 Gmaj7 C9/G
I often wonder why I always have to say
C6add9 Am7/D G
I'm only dreaming anyway.
Gmaj7 C6add9
Could it be the sea's as real as you and I?
Cm2 Gmaj7 C9/G
I often wonder why I always have to say
C6add9 Am7/D C9/G C6add9 Am7/D G
I'm only dreaming anyway.
