[G][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Down in
the parkway at [D]noon every day
No [G]matter what time of [Em]year
Pi[Am]geons will gather from [D]all over town
Wait[G]ing for her to appear
[Em]As she f[Am]ed the birds a stale[D] crust of
bread [G]I sat beside her each d[Em]ay
Ask[Am]ing her what she re[D]membered
Of
[G]Paris and her yester[Em]day
Bella
[Am]Blue, [D]dancing to candles in [G]dresses of
Spanish [Em]lace
Bella
[Am]Blue, she was [D]famous with all the
young [G]men for her lovely face
[Em]La la la[Am]…[D][G][Em][Am]
[D][G][Em]
Then [Am]it was wartime,
she [D]lowered her voice
[G]One special boy on her [Em]mind
[Am]He was so handsome and s[D]o full of life,
[G]she misses him all the [Em]time
They [Am]hurriedly went, then [D]he went away,
[G]never to come back [Em]again
[Am]War left a scar for a [D]lifetime,
[G]now she leaves flowers for [Em]him
Bella
[Am]Blue, [D]dropping her tears like a
[G]rose in the pouring [Em]rain
Bella
[Am]Blue, all she [D]has of her soldier
today [G]is her married [Em]name
La -la -la [Am]-la -la -la -la -la -la -la -[D]la
La [G]-la -la -la -la -la -la -la
[Em]-la[Am][D][G][Em]
The win[Am]ter was harsh,
much [D]colder than most [G]I hadn't seen bella b[Em]lue
[Am]When I went back to the [D]parkway,
she [G]wasn't there and I [Em]knew
Bella
[Am]Blue, [D]after a lifetime of
[G]waiting she's not [Em]alone
Bella
[Am]Blue, I hope [D]she and her soldier
have [G]finally found a [Em]home
La la la [Am]la la la la la
La [D]la [G]la la la [Em]la la[Am][D][G][Em]
Down [Am]in the parkway at n[D]oon every day
No [G]matter what time of [Em]year
Pi[Am]geons will gather from [D]all over town
Wait[G]ing for her to appear
