         G               Bm/F#                    Em    A/C#
You were just 18 looking gorgeous and serene on a photo
               D    D/C#
Took in twenty-nine
          Bm                    Bm/A               Em
With your hair in a bob like it could've been done today
                Em7           C
...wish I could reach back in time

  G                        Bm/F#                           Em
A couple of days ago I was talking to your son - I mean my father -
            A/C#     D
I said "was she like me?"
         D/C#                       Bm                                Bm/A
He said "dunno about that but you'd only have to say 'shit' and she'd laugh!"
                     Em               Em7     C       [Cmaj7]
...Makes you seem so real... makes us further apart...

G        Bm         C           D        G
  Such a melancholy smile, like lavender blue
       Bm         C           D        G
Such a melancholy smile, like lavender blue
       Bm         C           D        Eb
Such a melancholy smile, like lavender blue

  G                                      Bm/F#
I looked in your eyes and thought - "she died when I was five
      Em                           
"It's such a short life, hard life,
    A/C#            D    D/C#                Bm     Bm/A
"So don't waste the days swimming in the rat-race."
                   Em                   Em7         C       [Cmaj7]
You've got to feel alive... maybe we'll walk in the stars...

  Such a melancholy smile, like lavender blue
       Bm         C           D        G
Such a melancholy smile, like lavender blue
       Bm         C                D        Eb
Such a melancholy smile, just like lavender blue
