How [G]sad, how [Am]lovely[D]lovely,
how [G]short, how [Am]sweet,[D]sweet,

And the [Am]day gathered[Bm]gathered in

from the [Am]brim of[D]of the n[G]night.
Too [Em]few, too [Am]few,
are the [G]days that will [Am]hold
your [Em]face, your [Am]face
in a [Em]blaze of [Am]gold. [D]
How [G]sad, how l[Am]lovely,[D]ovely,
how [G]short, how[Am]how sweet[D]sweet,

at the [G]en[Em]end o[G]of the street.
And the [Am]lights going[Bm]going on
in the [Am]shops and the [G]bars,
and the [C]lovers [G]looking
for the [Am]first li[D]little s[G]stars.
Like [Am]life, like a [Em]smile,
like the [Am]fall of a [D]leaf,
how [G]sad, how l[Am]lovely,
how [G]brief. [C] [G]
