[Intro 1]
[Em][D][C][D][Em][D][C]
[G][F]

[Verse 1]
[G]Once upon a time
I stalked the streets on raining evenings
When the [C]distant sea blended
with [G]the sky[F]
[G]Past coliseum's filled with brass
[C]on pavements carved from toasted glass
I carried in my heart a word
or two
[G]

[Verse 2]
[Em]You dashing horseman [G]all gone [Bm]away[Em]
[D]Left you[C] a stable bill to pay
And [Em]now the golden c[Bm]alf
[G]has [D]turned to [C]clay
[Em]All my feelings [Bm]dressed in gloves
[Em]Couldn't touch[C] your
windswept harbour love
[Em]White and open-necked you
you would [D]still play
[C]

[Verse 3]
[G]I'd resort to sleepwalking to catch
the mood that fills the sails
With [C]harvest nets and tides
don't ever [G]bring[F]
But [G]every night was halloween,
and every [C]friend fell in between
And how capricious nature
ruled my mind
[G]

[Verse 4]
You [Em]dashing horseman all gone [Bm]away[Em]
[D]Left you[C] a stable bill to pay
And [Em]now the golden calf has
[D]turned to [C]clay[D]
[Em]All my feelings [Bm]dressed in g[Em]loves
Couldn't [C]touch your
windswept harbour love
[Em]White and open-necked you you
would [D]still play

[Interlude 1]
[C][Bm][C]
[Bm][F]

[Verse 5]
[G]Once upon a time I stalked the
streets on raining evenings
When the [C]distant sea
blended with the sky
[G]Past coliseum's filled with brass [F]on
pavements [G]carved from toasted glass
I [C]carried in my heart a word or two
But you would always make
me see today
[G]

[Verse 6]
[F]
You [Em]dashing horseman all gone [Bm]away[Em]
[D]Left you[C] a stable bill to pay
And [Em]now the golden calf has
[D]turned to [C]clay[D]
[Em]All my feelings [Bm]dressed in g[Em]loves
[Bm]Couldn't [C]touch your
windswept harbour love
[Em]White and open-necked you you would
[D]still play

[C]

[Verse 7]
I sound so [C]different these days,
[D]I b[Em]arely can bel[D]ieve[C] I'm here[D][Em]
If I didn't know bet[D]ter,
[C]I would swear I was someone els[D]e[Em]
Lord I can't [D]believe,
[C]I don't believe I'm me[D][Em]
[D]But [C]who on Earth [G]could [C]I be?
[G]

[Verse 8]
You [Em]dashing horseman all gone [Bm]away[Em]
[D]Left you[C] a stable bill to pay
And [Em]now the golden calf
[Bm]has turn[C]ed to clay[Bm][C]
[Em]All my feelings [Bm]dressed in gloves
[D]Couldn't [C]touch your
windswept harbour love
[Em]White and open-necked you you would [D]still
