GSomething I never knew, In silence I'd hear you, And a Cmaj7boat lies waiting, Still your clouds all flaming, GThat old time easy feeling.
What ICmaj7 lost was an ocean, Now I'm drifting through without you, In this Gsad barcarolle.
What ICmaj7 lost was an ocean, And I'm rolling right behind you, In this Gsad barcarolle.
It rocks you like a cradle, It rocks you to the core, You'll sleep like a baby, As it knocks at death's door. [Fig 2]x4 [Fig 1]x4 ...fade. ************************************ / Slide up \ Slide down ( ) Generally indicates piano note ************************************
