[Verso 1]
 
     C      G          C    F 
On a winged shoulder I leant 
           C        G            Am  G 
Opened the letter I wish you had sent 
        C               F 
But the words turned to water 
  C             F 
I couldn't dive under 
C    G   C 
Hmmm-mmm-mmm 
 


[Verso 2]
 
     C       G          C   F 
In a field I knew I had seen 
                  C         G                Am  G 
Raced through the rushes to where you should be 
        C               F 
But the hillside turned frozen 
  C              F 
I couldn't climb over 
C    G   C 
Hmmm-mmm-mmm 
 


[Verso 3]
 
     C                             F 
On a platform I wait for your train 
        C            G            Am  G 
Can you hear me? I'm calling your name 
        C              F 
But the wheels keep on turning 
    C            F 
You don't see me waving 
C    G   C 
Hmmm-mmm-mmm

[Verso 4]
 
       C       G              C   F 
In the crowd I reach for your hand 
           C               G           Am  G 
If you get lost then let's meet at the bandstand 
   C*       F* 
In Gospel Oak 
         C*            F* 
I'll get there but you won't 
C    G   C* 
Hmmm-mmm-mmm
