[Verse 1]
  C          F     C
A melancholy ghost moves
   C                F  C
Outside your window certain
     C        C/B       Am
That brushing past your curtain
    D                   Dm     G
And dancing through the leaves
     C                  F     C
Will remind you of your first love
    C                 F  C
Who held you warm and tender
           C         C/B   Am
And gently asked you to surrender
D      Dm   G      C
To the honeysuckle breeze

[Verse 2]
    C              F    C
Now do you see his face love
       C               F  C
In the shadows and the sunlight
            C         C/B       Am
He held his tongue to still the dark night
         D                      Dm    G
Now he's whisperin' through the trees
   C                  F     C
To remind you of your first love
        C                F  C
And the days before your winter
         C            C/B         Am
When you breathed the sweet sweet splendor
D      Dm   G      C
Of the honeysuckle breeze

[Bridge]
F                         C
Far away, far away you've wandered
    F                                 C
And soon forgot the one who loves you still
       F            E       Am
In the ruins of the precious gifts you've squandered
D              Dm                G
Rise again and breathe again His will

[Bridge]
F                          C
Come away, come away sweet darlin'
          F                                     C
While the scent of love's still drifting on the wind
     F                E                    Am
Your lover knows your hungry heart's still starving
        D              Dm               G
For the gentle one who bids you come to Him

[Verse 3]
  C          F     C
A melancholy ghost moves
   C                F  C
Outside your window certain
     C        C/B       Am
That brushing past your curtain
    D                   Dm     G
And dancing through the leaves
     C                  F     C
Will remind you of your first love
    C                 F  C
Who held you warm and tender
           C         C/B   Am
And gently asked you to surrender
D      Dm   G      C
To the honeysuckle breeze
           C         C/B   Am
And gently asked you to surrender
D      Dm   G      C
To the honeysuckle breeze
