Neil Diamond – Desiree (Guitar)

Am         C            F C                    F C
It was the third of June...on that summer's day

              F C                F    C
when I became a man at the hands of a girl

       G
almost twice my age.

        C         F C                        F C
And she came to me....just like a morning sun,

              F  C              F  C
and it wasn't so much her words as such,

       G                                            C
as the way they were sung, it was the way they were sung.

C
Desiree, Oh, Desiree..

        G
of your loving song.

          C
Remember, Desiree, oh, Desiree.

                                             G
Somehow I knew I could only have you til the morning light.

                                                  C            F C
If only for that single night, sweet Desiree, you made it right.

Am                          F C                       F C
Then came the fourth of June...on that sleepless night.

                   F C                            F   C
Well, I tossed and I turned, while the thought of her burned

       G
up and down my mind.

            C             F C                   F C
For she was there and gone....without one regret.

        F         C                     F C
But she continues on, like the words of a song

        G                       C
I could not forget..I could not forget.

C
Desiree, Oh, Desiree..

        G
of your loving song.

          C
Remember, Desiree, oh, Desiree.

                                             G
Somehow I knew I could only have you til the morning light.

                                                  C            F C
If only for that single night, sweet Desiree, you made it right.
