All The Flowers Of The Bough

December 13th, 2009

Lyrics and Chords

Cmin

Hearts are meant to be broken

Abmaj7

Made that way

Bb                                   Gmin7                          Abmaj7        Bb

Love must have its trial

Cmin                                                                     Abmaj7

Beauty, hope and wonder could not be

Bb                                   Gmin7                          Abmaj7        Bb

Without doubt and pain and self-denial

Cmin

All the flowers of the bough

Abmaj7                                             Gmin7

They will fall and they will fade

Fmin

But they resound in the distance of the days

Cmin                                           Abmaj7

Is life just the dance of happenstance?

Gmin7      Abmaj7   Bb     Cmin

I don’t believe that

Cmin                                                          Abmaj7

The wheel of the sky is rolling away from you

Bb                                   Gmin7                          Abmaj7        Bb

You can feel it fall

Cmin                                                          Abmaj7

And it’s not always easy, but if you try

Bb                                   Gmin7                          Abmaj7        Bb

You might see the genius of it all

Cmin

All the flowers of the bough

Abmaj7                                             Gmin7

They will fall and they will fade

Fmin

But they resound in the distance of the days

Cmin                                           Abmaj7

Is life just the dance of happenstance?

Gmin7      Abmaj7   Bb     Cmin

I don’t believe that

Cmin

If I could give you one thing

Abmaj7

If there could be just one thing

Bb                                   Gmin7                          Abmaj7        Bb

I would give you dreams

Cmin                                                            Abmaj7

We’ve got to realise, we’re only passersby

Bb                                   Gmin7                          Abmaj7        Bb

But you see, dreams survive all life’s uncertainties

Cmin

All the flowers of the bough

Abmaj7                                             Gmin7

They will fall and they will fade

Fmin

But they resound in the distance of the days

Cmin                                           Abmaj7

Is life just the dance of happenstance?

Gmin7      Abmaj7   Bb     Cmin

I don’t believe that
