A Blossom Fell

Tom: D

D6        Cdim   Em7    A7 
A blossom fell from off a tree; 
            Em7          A7       A7/5+     D 
It settled softly on the lips you turned to me. 
             D9     Fdim    Em7    A7 
The gypsies say, and I know why, 
          Em7            A7     A7+       D6     Cdim      A7 
A falling blossom only touches lips that lie. 
 
  A7+ 5   D6        Cdim  Em7    A7 
A blossom fell, and very soon 
  Em7     A7      G/B     A7    A7/5+       D    D7M   D7 
I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon. 
  D7/5+        G        Gm      Gdim     D             
I thought you loved me;    you said you loved me, 
             Em7    A7   Fdim     D 
We planned together   to dream forever, 
    D7/5+      Em7    G/B     Gdim        D    Fdim 
The dream has ended,     for true love died 
            Em7     Cdim     G/B         A7        D 
The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied.
