Song

  Dm       Gm/D    Dm
  When I'm gone no need to wonder
            Gm/D
  if I ever think of you
       Dm       Asus4/D  A/D
  the same moon shines
       Dm       Asus4/D  A/D   Dm  
  the same wind blows   for    both of us
                    Asus4/D  A
  and time is but a paper moon
         Gm6/D   A7 (play notes from intro)
  be not gone  

    Dm       Gm/D   Dm
  Though I'm gone   it's as though
                          Gm/D
  I hold the flower that touches you
    Dm       Asus4/D  A/D
  a new life grows
      Dm      Asus4/D  A/D   Dm  
  the blossom knows  there's no one else
                          Gm/D
  could warm my heart as much as you
         Gm6/D   A7 (play notes from intro - there are one or two notes less however)
  be not gone

   D       G/D    D/F#  D      G/D    D
  Let us cling together as the years go by
  G      A7      D    A7sus4
  oh my love my love
  A7      D
  In the quiet of the night
   A/C#    G/B       G/A  G
  let our candle always   burn
          D/A         A7sus4    A7      D       A7sus4  A7
  let us never lose the lessons we have learned.

  Dm      Gm/D       Dm
  Hear my song still think of me
                         Gm/D
  the way you've come to think of me
      Dm          Asus4/D  A/D
  the nights grow long
      Dm        Asus4/D  A/D   Dm  
  but dreams live on           just close your pretty eyes
             Gm/D
  and you can be with me
        Gm6/D   A7 (play notes from intro - there are one or two notes less however)
  dream on
