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.

It was a ^Cday in that blue month sep^Ctember Silent be^Fneath the plum trees' slender s^Chade I held her ^Amthere My love, so pale and ^Dmsilent As if she ^Gwere a dream that must not ^Cfade Above us ^Fin the summer shinning ^Cheaven There was a ^Amcloud my eyes dwelled long u^Dmpon It was quite ^Gwhite and very high a^Dmbove us Then I looked ^Gup And found that it had ^Cgone

And since that ^Cday, so many moons in ^Csilence Have ^Fswum across the sky and gone be^Clow The plum trees ^Amsurely have been chopped for ^Dmfirewood And if you ^Gask, how does that love seem ^Cnow I must ad^Fmit, I really can't re^Cmember Though I ^Amknow what you are trying to ^Dmsay But what that ^Gface was like, I know no ^Dmlonger I only ^Gknow I kissed it on that ^Cday

As for the ^Ckiss, I long ago for^Cgot it But for the ^Fcloud that floated in the ^Csky I know that ^Amstill and shall forever ^Dmknow it It was quite ^Gwhite and moved in very ^Chigh It may be ^Fthat the plum trees still are ^Cblooming That woman's s^Ameventh child may now be ^Dmthere And yet that ^Gcloud had only bloomed for ^Dmmoments When I ^Glooked up It vanished on the ^Cair.
