[Intro]
C Em F G C
 
 
[Verse 1]
C            Em7     F         C
Her face was crystal, fair and fine
F                   Em     Am                 G G7
And her breath was morning, and her lips were wine
F                 C        Am               F
And her eyes were laughter, and her touch divine
G                        F            C
And her face was crystal, and she was mine
 
[Interlude]
C Em F G C
 
 
[Verse 2]
C       Em7 F             C
If only she could feel my pain
F                Em    Am         G G7
But feelin' is a burden she can't sustain
F                C       Am         F
So like a summer Thursday I cry for rain
G                              F       C
To come and turn the ground to green again
 
 
[Interlude]
C Em F G C
 
 
[Verse 3]
C       Em7 F             C
If only she could hear my songs
F               Em                     Am        G G7
'Bout the empty difference 'tween the rights and wrongs
F                C Am          F
Then I know that I could stand alone
G               F               C
As well as they, now that she's gone
 
 
[Interlude]
C Em F G C
 
 
[Verse 4]
C             Em7    F         C
Her face was crystal, fair and fine
F                  Em      Am                 G G7
And her breath was morning, and her lips were wine
F                 C       Am                F
And her eyes were laughter, and her touch divine
G                        F            C
And her face was crystal, and she was mine
