FOR EMILY, WHEREVER I MAY FIND HER PAUL SIMON
Capo III

/D5.../G5.../D5.../G5.../
(D5) What a dream I had,(G) pressed in (Fig 1) organdy
(D) Clothed in crinoline (Cmaj7) of smokey burgandy
(G) Softer than the (A) rain

I wanderd empty streets, down past the shop display
I heard cathedral bells, tripping down the alley-way
As I walked on

And when you ran to me, your checks flushed with the night
We walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight
I held your hand

(instrumental)

And when I awoke and felt your warm and near
I kissed your honey hair, with my grateful tears
Oh I love you girl

(Cmaj7) Oh (G) how I love you (A) girl

D5:  xx0235

"For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her"

F       |            |
  What a dream I had:

Bb           |        |
   Pressed in organdy;

F           |         |Eb               |   |
  Clothed in crinoline    of smoky Burgundy;

Bb             |C    |  |
Softer than the rain.

F           |                  |
  I wandered empty streets down

Bb           |              |
   passed the shop displays.

F          |             |
  I heard cathedral bells

Eb                  |           |
   Tripping down the alley ways,

Bb     |C         |  |
   As I walked on.


F             |       
  And when you ran to me

    |Bb            |               |
Your cheeks flushed with the night.

F             |              |Eb               |          |
  We walked on frosted fields    of juniper and lamplight,

Bb       |C         |  |
   I held your hand.

F         |       |
  And when I awoke 

Bb             |              |
   and felt you warm and near,

F              |          |
  I kissed your honey hair

Eb                 |      |
   with my grateful tears.

Bb     |C        |    |  |
   Oh I love you, girl.

Eb    |Bb | Bbmaj9|  |    |  |  |
   Oh, I    love      you.
