Intro:

play parts A, B, and C 2X, second time with recorder solo

Part A:

F D#

The summer had inhaled and held its breath too long

F D#

The winter looked the same as if it never had gone

C# D#

And through an open window where no curtain hung

Part B:

D# F F#

I saw you

D# F F#

I saw you

D# F F#

Comin'...

Part C:

C#

...back to me

One begins to read between the pages of a look

The shape of sleepy music and suddenly you're hooked

Through the rain upon the trees that kisses on the run

I saw you I saw you

Comin' back to me

Part D:

C#

You can't stay and live my way

Scatter my love like leaves in the wind

You always say you won't go away

But I know what it always has been

...it always has been

A transparent dream beneath an occasional sigh

Most of the time I just let it go by

Now I wish it hadn't begun

I saw you I saw you

Comin' back to me

Strolling the hills overlooking the shore

I realize I've been here before

The shadow in the mist could have been anyone

I saw you I saw you

Comin' back to me

Small things like reasons are put in a jar

Whatever happened to wishes wished on a star

Was it just something that I made up for fun

I saw you I saw you

Comin' back to me

play parts A, B, and C (with recorder solo) and fade out

Peace,

You always say you won't go away

But I know what it always has been

...it always has been

Comin' back to me

play parts A, B, and C (with recorder solo) and fade out

(from Surrealistic Pillow, 1967)

NOTE: this is basically plagarized from the previous version except that I

discovered the song is in an alternate tuning. I am very unsure about

the bridge.

I hope some can improve upon it!
