[Intro] E Emaj7 E A E B E A B B7 [Verse 1]
E                        Emaj7
Have you not heard the wind

A                  E
A-crying the blues

F#m               B          E   A  B
He sings every night in my ears

 E                   Emaj7
He calls out your name

    A                E
In cascading harmonies

          B                  E  A B
Saying, "Lover, come back to me"
[Verse 2]
A                         E             C#m
Gotta get some distance between you and me

        A                  B
Try to busy my mind endlessly

          A                 E                C#m
I was making out so well when the teardrops fell

Oh lover come back to me
[Verse 3]
 E                           Emaj7
But the trouble is I do recall

 A                        E
The sweetness of your smile

F#m                  B
It was sweeter than life

  E            A           B
Sweeter than love free from hate

        E                      Emaj7
And I may forget what day it is

      A            E
May forget who I am

          B             E             A   B
But I'll never forget when the teardrops fell

A                           E              C#m
Sweethearted lady, with the pretty dark brown eyes

          A                  B
Like a butterfly floating so free

         A                 E                C#m
But the summer's day has ended she has floated away,

     A                  B
Oh lover come back to me
[Verse 5]

A-crying the blues

He sings every night in my ears

He calls out your name

    A                E
In cascading harmonies

          B                  E  A B
Saying, "Lover, come back to me"
