Tom: C

C F (2x)
G F

[Verse 1]
C         F   C              G
 In faded hues, of green and blue
  G                F
Beneath the willow tree
C           F   C            F
 I think of you, the way you looked
G               F
Barefoot in the stream

[Chorus]
F            G
 I thought I saw you once
C              F
Passing on the overground
C                 G              Am     F
We were two ships passing on the sea
F              G
 I watched you fading out
C           F
Fade into a misty dawn
C              G                   Am    F
Drifting after something you can't see

[Verse 2]
C           F     C               F
 And as the trees, dropping their leaves
G            F
Rusty on the green
C           F  C             F
 I think of you, the way you looked
G                   F
You were there with me

[Chorus]
F            G
 I thought I saw you once
C              F
Passing on the overground
C                 G              Am     F
We were two ships passing on the sea
F              G
 I watched you fading out
C           F
Fade into a misty dawn
C              G                   Am    G
Drifting after something you can't see

[Bridge]
F        G     C                F
 We were just, ships out on the sea
        G     C                Em
We were just, ships out on the sea

[Instrumental]

Em  F

[Outro]
C         F    C             F
 In faded hues, of green and blue
  G                F     C
Beneath the willow tree
