through the (Am7)mead ow land to (Dm7)ward a clos ing (Gm7)door,

a (Gm)door marked “Nev er (A7)more,”

that (G7)was n’t there be (Gm7)fore.

The (F)lone

ly night dis (D7)clos es

just a (Gm)pass ing breeze

filled with (Bbm)mem o ries

of the (Am7)gold en smile that (Dm7)in tro duced me (Bm7)to

the (Dm7)days of wine and (Gm)ros es and (F)you.
