E F#m E F#m


[Verse 1]
E                 B
Pastel shades the hour
     E                  F#m           F#m            B         E   F#m  B
when evening climbs the sky and burns a golden highway to the west
        E            B
and the distant city sounds
  E                  F#m           F#m        B            E       C#m E
caress the trembling leaves to die among the far horizon shores


[Chorus]
F#m                   B                     E           C#m
 then the song of the evening comes in, gentle harmony
    F#m              B               E
and lingers 'til the closing, of the day
F#m             B                  E                   C#m
 just a song of evening flows on,   like some tumbling river
F#m        B              E
and like a river,  flows away


[Verse 2]
  E               B
I look beyond the window
      E               F#m                         B              E     F#m  B
where twisted shadows play  and trees are bare below the frozen stars
    E                B
the stranger hurries through the cold
    E                F#m                          B             E     C#m  E
his collar round his ears dreaming words of comfort,  and a fire


[Chorus]
F#m                   B                 E           C#m
 then the song of the evening comes in, gentle harmony
    F#m              B               E
and lingers 'til the closing, of the day
F#m             B                E                   C#m
 just a song of evening flows on, like some tumbling river
F#m        B              E
and like a river,  flows away
