Intro:

D   C   G       D    C    G



D              C
There were palisades there where I drew

D             C
Such a pretty picture of your hand

D            C            G
It's so easy now to misconstrue


What I try and understand.


D                C
And when we made love it made perfume

D             C            G
All along the walls they'd write it

D              C                G
Such a picture now they draw of me


Such a clumsy hairy man


Chorus:
    D     C     G                D     
For you       I remember all you do

C          G             D
  And it's most peculiar too

     C       G
It's just confusion



D                    C
There were shades of green and deja vu

D              C
On the willows there we planned it

D            C                 G
Such a day rememberin' all you do


In that tryst of underhand,.


D                C
And when we made love I searched for you

D            C 
In a way the waters parted

D             C                  G
In a fleeting moment dreams come true


To a plain confused man.
