Bm     F#/B   Bm7     D/E       Amaj7           Dmaj7
Long ago a young man sits and plays his waiting game
      C#m       G#/C#   C#m7   F#m7      Bm7              D/E
But things are not the same it seems, as in such tender dreams
Bm     F#/B    Bm7     D/E       Amaj7           Dmaj7
Slowly passing sailing ships and Sunday afternoon
      C#m   G#/C#  C#m7   F#m7    Bm7                 D/E
Like people on the moon I see are things not meant to be

 Amaj9                 Dmaj9
 Where do those golden rainbows end
 Amaj9                     Dmaj9
       Why is this song so sad
 Amaj9                 Dmaj9
 Dreaming the dreams I've dreamed my friend
 Amaj9      Dmaj9   Amaj9
 Loving the love I love to...

Bm      F#/B   Bm7     D/E       Amaj7           Dmaj7
Love is just a word I heard when things are being said
C#m     G#/C#   C#m7     F#m7    Bm7              D/E
Stories my poor head has told me cannot stand the cold
    Bm    F#/B       Bm7        D/E      Amaj7           Dmaj7
And in be-tween what might have been and what has come to pass
  C#m    G#/C#  C#m7    F#m7    Bm7                 D/E
A mis-be-gotten guess a-las and bits of broken glass

 Amaj9                 Dmaj9
 Where do your golden rainbows end
 Amaj9                 Dmaj9
 Why is this song I sing so sad
 Amaj9                 Dmaj9
 Dreaming the dreams I dream my friend
 Amaj9      Dmaj9          Amaj9      Dmaj9
 Loving the love I love to love... to love..
