[G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
A [G]family of
mu[C]sicians took [G]shelter for the night
In the little harbor church
[C]of St. Cecili[G]a
Two guitars, [C]bata,
bass [G]drum and tambourine
Rose [C]of Jericho and Bougainvillea
[G]

[Verse 2]
This is a lonely [Am]life[G]
[C]Sorrows [G]everywhere [C]you turn
And [Bb]that's worth [G]something
When [C]you think about it
That's worth [G]some [C]money
That's worth something
[G]When you [C]think about it
That is worth [G]some [C]money[G]

[Verse 3]
[G]A trip t[C]o the market
A [G]trip into the pearl gray
morning sun[C]light
Settling [G]over Washington
A trip [C]to the market
A [G]trip around the world
Where the evening meal
[C]Is negotiable, if the[G]re is one.

[Verse 4]
This [G]is a lonely [Am]life[G]
[C]Sorrows every[G]where you [C]turn
And that's [G]worth something
When you [C]think about it
That's worth some [G]money[C]
That's worth something
[G]When you [C]think about it
That is worth [G]some [C]money
[G]

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][C]
[G]
To prove that I love [C]you

[Verse 5]
[G]
Because I believe in you
Summer skies, [C]stars are falling
[G]All along the injured coast
If I have [C]money
[G]If I have childre[D]n
[G]Summer skies, sta[C]rs are falling
All [G]along the injured coast
Oh-wah oh-wah [C]Doo-wop a

Summer Sum[G]mer skies
[C]and stars are falling

[Verse 6]
We are [G]standing in the sun[C]light
The [G]early morning sunlight
In the har[C]bor church
of St. Cecili[G]a
[C]To praise a soul's return
[G]ing to the earth
To the rose of [C]Jericho [G]and the Bougainvillea
