Intro: F
FC Oh Lord, I'm tired, it's time to go to bed,
FCGmC Way after midnight and the wine's gone to my head,
BbGCBb Lying here upon the shore just listening to the waves,
FBbC And it's been a perfect day.
FC Packed up a picnic and set off for the sea,
FCGmC Taking all the back roads where no-one else would be,
BbGCBb Me and you and Paul and Sue, how we laughed the time away,
FBbC And we had a perfect day.
A I brought along my old guitar,
A And lying there beneath the stars,
DmCBb We sang all the Beatles songs we knew,
Gm Lord you should have heard those harmonies,
CF C Bb FF C Bb FF C Bb FF C Bb F When we did Nowhere Man and Let It Be...
FC My love, if we should break up, should we ever part,
FCGmC And you're searching for some memory to help your aching heart,
BbGCBb Forget about the hurtful things that lovers often say,
FBbC And remember this perfect day.
A Then people start coming around the fire,
A And I was strumming at my old guitar,
DmCBb Trying to think of something everybody knew,
Gm And then you said "though it's far away,
CFC Bb A Christmas song would really make my day."
FCG CF CF CG CC G C And everbody sang...
BbG And all I really want to do,
CBb Is sing songs for you,
FBbC Then it's been a perfect day,
