NOTES:
This is another gorgeous song that you might want to play for a loved one at
an appropriate moment. The song seems to be in Low Tune i.e. a semi-tone lower
than standard (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb) so, if you want to play along you're going
to have to re-tune or transpose. Chords below are for standard tuning.

[A] Would I greet each [C#m7]day in [F#m]silence
[Dmaj7] And wipe each [C#m7]tear, [Dmaj7] each hopeless [C#m7]hope,
[Dmaj7]Wordlessly a[C#m7]way until I [C]slip into [E]sha[Esus4]dow?

[A] Would the world go [C#m7]on re[F#m]gardless
[Dmaj7] And foreign [C#m7]runes [Dmaj7] of time pur[Bm7]sued?[E7]
[A]Love is his [C#m7]name and ever [F#m]shall be
[Dmaj7] How could they [C#m7]know [Dmaj7] what I let [C#m7]go?
I'd [Dmaj7]beg the bitter [C#m7]end of days to [C]swallow me [E]who[Esus4]le.
