Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]The[G][Em][G][D][G][Em][D]
[A]morning is humming,
it's a [G]quarter past nine
[D]I should be working dow[A]n in the vin[F#]es
But [Bm]I'm [Em]lying here with
[Bm]a good friend of mine
Watching the [Em]sun in [Bm]her hair

[Verse 2]
[A]I pick the grapes from the[G] hills to the sea
[D]The fields of France are a hom[A]e to me[F#]
Ah, but [Bm]today lying [Em]here is
a [Bm]good place to be
I can't [A]go any[D]where
[A]

[Verse 3]
[D]But as we slip in and out[A]
of [Em]embrace
Like some old [G]and famil[Bm]iar place
[G]Reflecting all of my dre[A]ams
in her face like [D]before[A]
On the [D]last day of [Em]June [D]193[A]4

[Verse 4]
Just out of Cambridge [G]in a
narrow country lane
A [D]bottle- green Bentley
in [A]the driving rain
[Bm]Slips and skids round [Em]a corner,
then [Bm]pulls straight again
Heads up [Em]the drive to [Bm]the door

[Verse 5]
The [A]lights of the party shine
[G]over the fields
Where [D]lovers and dancers watch
[A]Catherine whe[F#]els
And [Bm]argue [Em]realities
[Bm]dig ging their heels
In a world that's [A]finished [D]with war[A]

[Verse 6]
And a [D]lost wind of summer
blows [A]into the streets
Past the [Em]tramps in the alleyways,
[G]the ric[Bm]h in silk sheets
[G]And Europe lies sleeping,
[A]You feel her heartbeats
through [D]the floor[A]
On the [D]last day of [G]June [Em]nineteenth

[Verse 7]
On the [D]night that Ernst
Roehm died voices rang out
In the [G]rolling Bavarian hill[D]s
And swept through the cities and
danced in the gutters
Grown [G]strong like the joining of will[D]s

[Verse 8]
[D]Oh echoed away like a roar in the distance
In [G]moonlight carved out of [D]steel
Singing [Bm]"All the [A]lonely,
so long and so [Bm]long
You don't know how I [A]long, how I [Bm]long
You can't hold me,
I'm [A]strong now [Bm]I'm strong
Stronger [A]than your law"
[G][A]

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D]

[Verse 9]
[A]I sit here now by the ban[G]ks of the Rhine
[D]Dipping my feet in the
[A]cold stream of time
[Bm]And I know I'm a dreamer,[Em]
I [Bm]know I'm out of line
With the people I [Em]see everywhere

[Verse 10]
[Bm]The coup[A]les pass by me,
they're [G]looking so good
Their [D]arms round each other,
[A]they head for the woods
[Bm]They don't care who [Em]Ernst Roehm was,
[Bm]no reason they should
Just a shadow that [A]hangs in [D]the air
[A]But

[Verse 11]
[D]I thought I saw him
[A]cross over the hill
With a [Em]whole ghostly army
[A]of [Bm]men at his heel
And [G]struck in the moment [A]it seemed
to be real like [D]before[A]
On the [D]last day of June [Em]nineteen thirty four
