D6                             G(add9)/D     A5
Come take a look with me in an old fashioned picture book.

D6                               G(add9)/D   A5             G5       A5
Patience, the girl we see on the sand with a squint and her parasol, look.

A7              A7*             D            A5
Sweet herbs are sewn 'tween the cloth of her cuff,

  G5                        A5    C              Bb      A
A shell in her little tight hand; soon she'll be going a-way

         Bm      F#m     Em     Em/F#    G         A      D
With her bottled sand to-morrow from the shores of yester-day.
[Verse 2]
D6                              G(add9)/D     A5
Come see her move and be in our old fashioned backward look,

D6                      G(add9)/D   A5        G5          A5
Just like an old movie, talking and real like when it was took.

A7              A7*        D          A5
Bats, balls and town-boys, cheeky and rough,

  G5                            A5    C             Bb        A
Faint sounds of a distant brass band, who rides the donkey to-day?

         Bm      F#m   Em     Em/F# G              A         D
Will our visions of to-morrow min - gle with those of yester-day?
[Verse 3]
D6                                      G(add9)/D   A5
Come, close your eyes and hear melodies from an old music box,

D6                               G(add9)/D     A5
Tinkling as tandems and years go tumbling like tresses

    G5             A5
And small perfumed locks.

A7                A7*             D            A5
Sweet dreams were sewn 'tween the years of her life,

G5                       A5     C          Bb       A
A tear in her little ker-chief, waving and fading a-way

         Bm      F#m     Em     Em/F#    G      A         D   D/C#
With her bottled sand to-morrow from the shores of yester-day.

                 F#m   Em     Em/F# G              A         D
Will our visions of to-morrow min - gle with those of yester-day?
[Outro]
D6                                         G(add9)/D  A5
Come take a look with me in an old fashion-ed picture   book.
