Townes Van Zandt – Like A Summer Thursday (Guitar Fingerpicking)

C            Em7     F         C
Her face was crystal, fair and fine

F                   Em     Am                 G G7
And her breath was morning, and her lips were wine

F                 C        Am               F
And her eyes were laughter, and her touch divine

G                        F            C
And her face was crystal, and she was mine

C       Em7 F             C
If only she could feel my pain

F                Em    Am         G G7
But feelin' is a burden she can't sustain

F                C       Am         F
So like a summer Thursday I cry for rain

G                              F       C
To come and turn the ground to green again

C       Em7 F             C
If only she could hear my songs

F               Em                     Am        G G7
'Bout the empty difference 'tween the rights and wrongs

F                C Am          F
Then I know that I could stand alone

G               F               C
As well as they, now that she's gone

C             Em7    F         C
Her face was crystal, fair and fine

F                  Em      Am                 G G7
And her breath was morning, and her lips were wine

F                 C       Am                F
And her eyes were laughter, and her touch divine

G                        F            C
And her face was crystal, and she was mine
