Tom: D

G  Bm  A  G

[Verse]
G
And you're far too far away
Bm
It's been years since we spoke
A
But I wonder if you think
G
Of you and I, I can only hope
Bm
With a new man in your head
D
And a new home for your heart
A
Our romance is long dead
G
But a friend is what I lost

[Chorus]
G
And take me back to St. Ives
Bm 
Where we both lived different lives
A 
Kept warm in winter nights
G
Harps played by candlelight
Bm
Oo-oo-oo-oh oh oo-oh

[Instrumental]
A  G

[Verse]
G
I made a fool of myself
Bm
Making a fool out of you
A
Through all the times you wept
G
You thought that you were being used
Bm
I tried to learn my lesson
D
Not to read between the lines
A
But through all the mild affection
G
Please know that the fault was mine

[Chorus]
G 
And take me back to St. Ives
Bm 
Where we both lived different lives
A 
Kept warm in winter nights
G 
Harps played by candlelight
Bm                D           Bm
Oo-oo-oo-oh oh oo-oh oo-oh oh oh

[Instrumental]
A
G
Oo-oh oh

[Bridge]
G 
And if we saw each other now
Bm 
Would we pick up where we left
G 
Or would you glance the other way?
A 
A simple sign we must forget...

[Bridge]
G
'Cause you're far too far away
A
It's been years since we spoke
Bm
But I wonder if you think
A
Of you and I, I can only hope

[Chorus]
G
You take me back to St. Ives
A
Where we both lived different lives
Bm
Kept warm in winter nights
A
Harps played by candlelight

[Outro]
G
Oh-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
A
Whoa, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Bm
Oh oh oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
A
Oh oh, whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
G
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh oh oh
A
Oh whoa oh
Bm          A           G
Whoa-oh-oh-oh oh
