Shanghai Breezes

John Denver (klr)

- [A7] -[D] - [A7]

Its [D] funny how you [A] sound as if youre [F#m] right next [G]

door

When you’re [D] really half a [Bm] world away [Em] - [A7]

I [D] just can’t seem to [A] find the words I’m [F#m] looking [G]

for

To [D] say the things that [Bm] I need to say [Em] - [A7]

I [D] can’t remember [A] when I felt so [F#m] close to [G] you

It’s [D] almost more than [Bm] I can bear [Em] - [A7]

Though I seem a [A] half a million [F#m] miles from [G] you

You are [D] in my heart and [Bm] living there [Em] - [A7]

And the [D] moon and the [G] stars are the same [D] ones you [Bm]

see

It’s the [Em] same old sun up [A7] in the [D] sky [A7]

And your [D] voice in my [G] ear is like heav [D] en to [Bm] me

Like the [Em] breezes here in [A7] old Shanghai [D]

- [F#m] -[G] - [A7]

There are [D] lovers who walk [A] hand in hand [F#m] in the [G] park

And [D] lovers who walk [Bm] all alone [Em] - [A7]

There are [D] lovers who lie [A] unafriad [F#m] in the [G] dark

And [D] lovers who [Bm] long for [Em] home [A7]

I [D] couldn’t leave you [A] even if I [F#m] wanted [G] to

You’re [D] in my dreams and [Bm] always near [Em] - [A7]

And es [D] pecially when I [A] sing the songs I [F#m] wrote for [G]

you

You are [D] in my heart and [Bm] living there [Em] - [A7]

And the [D] moon and the [G] starts are the same [D] ones you [Bm]

see

It’s the [Em] same old sun up [A7] in the [D] sky [A7]

And your [D] face in my [G] dreams is like heav [D] en to [Bm] me

Like the [Em] breezes here in [A7] old Shanghai [D]

Shanghai breezes [F#m] cool and clear [Bm] ing

Evenings sweet [A7] caress [D]

Shanghai breezes [F#m] soft and gen [D] tle

Re [G] minds me of [Em] your tender [A7] ness

||: And the [D] moon and the [G] stars are the same [D] ones you [Bm]

see

It’s the [Em] same old sun up [A7] in the sky [D] - [A7]

And your [D] love in my [G] life is like heav [D] en to [Bm] me

Like the [Em] breezes here in [A7] old Shanghai [D] - [A7] :||

Just like the [Em] breezes here in [A7] old Shang [D] hai
