Paul Simon — For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her

Capo III 
 
 D
What I dream I had: 
 G
Pressed in organdy; 
 D                      Cmaj7
Clothed in crinoline of smoky Burgundy; 
 G              A
Softer than the rain. 
 
 D
I wandered empty streets 
 G
Down past the shop displays. 
 D       
I heard cathedral bells 
 Cmaj7
Tripping down the alley ways, 
 G          A
As I walked on. 
 
 D
And when you ran to me 
 G
Your cheeks flushed with the night. 
 D                             Cmaj7
We walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight, 
 G          A
I held your hand. 
 
 D                    
And when I awoke 
 G 
And felt you warm and near, 
 D            Cmaj7      
I kissed your honey hair  
 G               A
With my grateful tears. 
 
 Cmaj7 G         A
Oh I   love you, girl. 
 Cmaj7 G    A
Oh, I  love you.
