Bowie, David - Remembering Marie A. - аккорды

[ Предположительная тональность: C ]

Quite an easy going song from a poem of Bertolt Brecht and, because it was popular, that
was used for his play "Baal". The english version is the one sung by David Bowie in the
BBC Baal Revival in 1982.

Lavachevolante.

NB: you can add an optional G on the light E string on the second C chord of each first line.


         C                         C
It was a day in that blue month september
         F                              C
Silent beneath the plum trees' slender shade
           Am
I held her there
                     Dm
My love, so pale and silent
          G                          C
As if she were a dream that must not fade
         F                      C
Above us in the summer shinning heaven
            Am                          Dm
There was a cloud my eyes dwelled long upon
             G                    Dm
It was quite white and very high above us
              G
Then I looked up
                      C
And found that it had gone


               C                     C
And since that day, so many moons in silence
     F                              C
Have swum across the sky and gone below
               Am                           Dm
The plum trees surely have been chopped for firewood
           G                            C
And if you ask, how does that love seem now
         F                     C
I must admit, I really can't remember
         Am                          Dm
Though I know what you are trying to say
              G                        Dm
But what that face was like, I know no longer
       G                        C
I only know I kissed it on that day


           C                   C
As for the kiss, I long ago forgot it
            F                         C
But for the cloud that floated in the sky
            Am                      Dm
I know that still and shall forever know it
             G                       C
It was quite white and moved in very high
          F                             C
It may be that the plum trees still are blooming
              Am                      Dm
That woman's seventh child may now be there
             G                          Dm
And yet that cloud had only bloomed for moments
       G
When I looked up
                   C
It vanished on the air.
