[EURYDICE]
Gm7Lover, tell me if you can
Who's gonna buy the wedding bands?
Bb7Times being what they G7are
Bb7Hard and getting Csus2harder all the time
[ORPHEUS]
G7Lover, when I sing my song
All the rivers'll sing along
And Bb7they're gonna break their G7banks for us
And with their gold, be generous
All a-flashing in the pan, all to fashion for your hand
The Bb7river's gonna Csus2give us the wedding bands
Bb7 Csus2
[EURYDICE]
Gm7Lover, tell me if you're able
Who's gonna lay the wedding table?
Bb7Times being what Gm7they are
Bb7Dark and getting Csus2darker all the G7time
[ORPHEUS]
G7Lover, when I sing my song
All the trees gonna sing along
And Bb7they're gonna bend their Gm7branches down
To lay their fruit upon the ground
Gm7The almond and the apple
And the sugar from the maple
The Bb7trees gonna Csus2lay the wedding table
