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 sepCtember
Silent beFneath the plum trees' slender sChade
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 uDmpon
It was quite Gwhite and very high aDmbove 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 beClow
The plum trees Amsurely have been chopped for Dmfirewood
And if you Gask, how does that love seem Cnow
I must adFmit, I really can't reCmember
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 forCgot 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 sAmeventh child may now be Dmthere
And yet that Gcloud had only bloomed for Dmmoments
When I Glooked up
It vanished on the Cair.

C C

It was a day in that blue month september

F C

Silent beneath the plum trees' slender shade

I held her there

My love, so pale and silent

G C

As if she were a dream that must not fade

F C

Above us in the summer shinning heaven

Am Dm

There was a cloud my eyes dwelled long upon

G Dm

It was quite white and very high above us

Then I looked up

And found that it had gone

C C

And since that day, so many moons in silence

F C

Have swum across the sky and gone below

Am Dm

The plum trees surely have been chopped for firewood

G C

And if you ask, how does that love seem now

F C

I must admit, I really can't remember

Am Dm

Though I know what you are trying to say

G Dm

But what that face was like, I know no longer

G C

I only know I kissed it on that day

C C

As for the kiss, I long ago forgot it

F C

But for the cloud that floated in the sky

Am Dm

I know that still and shall forever know it

G C

It was quite white and moved in very high

F C

It may be that the plum trees still are blooming

Am Dm

That woman's seventh child may now be there

G Dm

And yet that cloud had only bloomed for moments

When I looked up

It vanished on the air.
