AMy dreams have witA7hered, and .D..died!
OGnce I was bending theF#m ...tops of the tEmrees,
F#mKind thoughts in my hEmead, kind vEm7oices to hAear!

TDhen I took up with a girl from the wGest,
PlAayed run and hDide, plGayed run and hiAde,
CoDunt one to ten, and she's gone like the rGest,
AMy dreams have witA7hered and dDied!
If GI was a butterfly, F#m lived for a Emday,
F#m I could be fEmree, just bEm7lowing a - wAay!

SiDlver moon sail up, and silver moon - sGhine,
On the wAaters so wDide, waGters so wAide,
SlDipped from the bed of a good friend of mGine,
AMy dreams have witA7hered and dDied!
OGnce I was bending the F#mtops of the tEmrees,
F#mKind thoughts inEm my head, Em7kind voices to hAear!
