Verse 1 
C 
Once I sat upon a hill 
   F 
To watch the world go by 
   C 
My friend the young magician 
       F 
Had forbidden me to cry 
    Ddim7 
But I was the comedian 
         G                  G7 
With the laughs in short supply

Verse 2 
    C 
The sunlight filtered softly through 
    F 
The pale and watery sky 
   C 
To catch the mirrored salmon 
      F 
As it rose to take the fly 
    Ddim7 
The flowers on the riverbank 
     G              G7 
Were left alone to die

Bridge
    Dm 
The church bells sounded midnight 
     C 
As I rose to say goodbye 
  Dm 
A solitary tear fell from 
    G                        G7   C 
The corner of my eye_____
