Halcyon Days

 
Dm 
Asleep by the river 
    G              Am 
And threatening to fall 
        Dm 
Buzzing flies and the drone of your voice 
        G      Am    C 
Merging into a drawl 
      Dm 
Don't ask me to tell her 
      G         Am 
Don't ask me to call 
       Dm 
In the heat of the summer 
        G         Am    C 
There's something wrong 
 

 
Dm          G           Am  F 
Halcyon days tainted by wine 
    Dm              G                    Am   C 
The details are lost, but the essence is fine 
         Dm 
So don't ask me to tell her 
      G         Am   C 
Don't ask me to call 
       Dm 
In the heat of the summer 
        G               Am  F 
There's something wrong 
 

 
Dm                       G 
Something close but far away 
                    Am 
You're asking me to stay but I've gotta go 
Dm                       G 
Something close but far away 
                    Am                     C 
You're asking me to stay but somehow I know 
Dm 
So don't ask me to tell her 
      G              Am 
Don't ask me to call 
       Dm 
In the heat of the summer 
        G              Am C 
There's something wrong 
 

 
Dm           G          Am  F 
Halcyon days tainted by wine 
    Dm                        G              Am C 
The details are lost, but the essence is fine

So don't ask me to tell her 
      G             Am C 
Don't ask me to call
