      Long ago a young man sits and plays his waiting game
           Em        Emmaj7  Em7     Am       Dm7             Dm7/G    
      But things are not the same it seems as in such tender dreams
      Dm      A7     Dm7     Dm7/G     Cmaj7      Fmaj7
      Slowly passing sailing ships and Sunday afternoon
           Em     Emmaj7  Em7   Am   Dm7                 Dm7/G      
      Like people on the moon I see are things not meant to be
      
CHORUS:
  Cmaj7                 Dm7/G
  Where do those golden rainbows end
  Cmaj7         Dm7/G
    Why is this song so sad
  Cmaj7                    Dm7/G                        
  Dreaming the dreams I've dreamed my friend
  Cmaj7        Dm7/G  Cmaj7                 
    Loving the love I love to...
     
     Dm      Dmmaj7 Dm7    Dm7/G      Cmaj7            Fmaj7
     Love is just a word I heard when things are being said
     Em      Emmaj7   Em7     Am       Dm7             Dm7/G    
     Stories my poor head has told me cannot stand the cold
         Dm    Dmmaj7    Dm7        Dm7/G    Cmaj7            Fmaj7
     And in between what might have been and what has come to pass
       Em    Emmaj7 Em7   Am      Dm7            Dm7/G      
     A misbegotten guess alas and bits of broken glass
      
CHORUS:
  Cmaj7                 Dm7/G
  Where do those golden rainbows end
  Cmaj7         Dm7/G
    Why is this song so sad
  Cmaj7                    Dm7/G                        
  Dreaming the dreams I've dreamed my friend
  Cmaj7        Dm7/G  Cmaj7                 
    Loving the love I love to love to love
