Verse
C
I sang the song slowly
G6 C
As she stood in the shadows
F
She stepped to the light
G6 C
As my silver strings spun
C G
She called with her eyes
F C
To the tune I’s a-playing
C Csus4
But the song it was long
G6 C Csus4 Csus2
And I’d only begun
[Verse 2]
C
Through a bullet of light
G6 C
Her face was reflecting
F
The fast fading words
G6 C
That rolled from my tongue
C G
With a long-distance look
F C
Her eyes was on fire
C Csus4
But the song it was long
G6 C Csus4 Csus2
And there was more to be sung
[Verse 3]
C
My eyes danced a circle
G6 C
Across her clear outline
F
With her head tilted sideways
G6 C
She called me again
C G
As the tune drifted out
F C
She breathed hard through the echo
C Csus4
But the song it was long
G6 C Csus4 Csus2
And it was far to the end
[Verse 4]
C
I glanced at my guitar
G6 C
And played it pretending
F
That of all the eyes out there
G6 C
I could see none
C G
As her thoughts pounded hard
F C
Like the pierce of an arrow
C Csus4
But the song it was long
G6 C Csus4 Csus2
And it had to get done
[Verse 5]
C
As the tune finally folded
G6 C
I laid down the guitar
F
Then looked for the girl
G6 C
Who’d stayed for so long
C G
But her shadow was missing
F C
For all of my searching
C Csus4
So I picked up my guitar
G6 C Csus4 Csus2
And began the next song
