Capo 2nd Fret
[Verse 1]
DThe mist of the morning in this strange town,
lifted Gslowly with the sDun,
refracted the F#mrays in a thBmousand ways,
a nGew day just Abegun.
And it crBmowded against my F#mwindow sill,
still Gsweet with the morning Gmdew.
[Chorus 1]
If only you Dknew,
Ahow much I think of Dyou.
[Verse 2]
DInto the van and down the road,
aloGng the highway fDast.
With this bF#mand I ride through the coBmuntryside,
the sGeasons sliding pAast.
I spy Bma humble homestead tF#mhere,
with a garGden and a river viGmew.
[Chorus 2]
If only you kDnew,
hoAw much I think of Dyou.
[Bridge]
ABy a stream of running Gwater,
I heard you lF#maugh.
I closed my eB7yes for an hour and a Emhalf,
and tried to mAake you appear.F#m  
I swear in the beB7auty of the seEmtting sun,
A7you were here.
[Verse 3]
DAn old troubador on the street last night,
plays fGor our passing chDange.
a fiF#mddle in g plays a mBmelody,
mysGterious and stArange.
He lBmearned on a green distant mouF#mntain top,
a wedGding waltz, so sweet and tGmrue.
[Chorus 3]
DIf only you knew,
Ahow much I think of Bmyou.G  
If only you kDnew,
Ahow much I think of Dyou.

The mist of the morning in this strange town,

lifted slowly with the sun,

a new day just begun.

And it crowded against my window sill,

still sweet with the morning dew.

along the highway fast.

the seasons sliding past.

I spy a humble homestead there,

with a garden and a river view.

By a stream of running water,

I heard you laugh.

I closed my eyes for an hour and a half,

A F#m

and tried to make you appear.

I swear in the beauty of the setting sun,

you were here.

[Verse 3]

An old troubador on the street last night,

G D

plays for our passing change.

a fiddle in g plays a melody,

mysterious and strange.

He learned on a green distant mountain top,

a wedding waltz, so sweet and true.

If only you knew,

how much I think of you.

If only you knew,

how much I think of you.
