Desiree

Am         C            F C    
It was the third of June...on 
                F C
that summer's day
              F C                
when I became a man at the hands 
F    C
of a girl
       G
almost twice my age.
        C         F C            
And she came to me....just like a
            F C
 morning sun,
              F  C              F 
and it wasn't so much her words as 
 C
such,
       G                         
as the way they were sung, it was 
                   C
the way they were sung.

CHORUS:
C
Desiree, Oh, Desiree..

There I was found by the sweet 
passion sound
        G
of your loving song.

Time was right, the night was long.
          C
Remember, Desiree, oh, Desiree.
Somehow I knew I could only have you
         G
 til the morning light.
If only for that single night, sweet
              C            F C
 Desiree, you made it right.

Am                          F C 
Then came the fourth of 
                      F C
June...on that sleepless night.
                   F C            
Well, I tossed and I turned, while
                F   C
 the thought of her burned
       G
up and down my mind.
            C        
For she was there and 
     F C                   F C
gone....without one regret.
        F         C               
But she continues on, like the 
      F C
words of a song
        G                      
I could not forget..I could not 
 C
forget.

CHORUS:
C
Desiree, Oh, Desiree..

There I was found by the sweet 
passion sound
        G
of your loving song.

Time was right, the night was long.
          C
Remember, Desiree, oh, Desiree.
Somehow I knew I could only have you
         G
 til the morning light.
If only for that single night, sweet
              C            F C
 Desiree, you made it right.
