Sit down my love of open spaces
AmFG
And greet my love that's all been spent
CDmDm/E
I'm going to tell you both a story
FEmAm
About some memories that I've dreamt
AmFG
See I've lost love in many places
AmFG
Not least the streets of São Paulo
CDmDm/E
One friend especially I did make there
FEmAm
A tenth floor window took her home
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AFG9
Sometimes I could cry for miles
C9F
Sometimes I could cry for miles

Sometimes I could cry for miles
Em
But I don't

AmFG
So hush the shadows in the oak tree
AmFG
Be still the curlew on the moor
CDmDm/E
My heart has fallen by the wayside
FEmAm
I cannot claim her anymore
AmFG
So don your duffel coats quite slowly
AmFG
And this drop jury shall adjourn
CDmDm/E
And on the streets of old São Paulo
FEmAm
I watched my baby being burned
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AFG9
Sometimes I could cry for miles
C9F
Sometimes I could cry for miles
DmGsus4G
Sometimes I could cry for miles
Em
But I don't
AFG9
Sometimes I could cry nine times
C9F
Drop my bags and run for miles
DmGsus4G
Sometimes I could live nine lives
EmA
But I won't, but I wooooon't
