Vespers   by   Jim Croce
I'd Glike to think about her and the way she used to love me
But I Djust can't live without her, 'cause her Carms are not aGround me
And the season's getting Dlater and my Cbody's getting Amcolder
And the Dvespers ring and I'm all alone, withCout my love beGside me
GShe'd call me in the evening, ask me to come over
She'd be Dstanding by the window, with her Chair down around her Gshoulder
We'd talk a while and Dthen she'd smile, Cthen she'd lock the Amdoor
And Dshe would sit beside me and we Amwould talk no Gmore
The Dbells would ring at Csix o'Gclock and she'd be in my Darms
Her Chead uBmpon my Amshoulder, Ggently DrestGing
And Dthen she'd wake and Clook at Gme, not knowing I'd been DwatchGingG7  
CKiss me softly, Dthen drift off to Gsleep
GShe'd call me in the evening and ask me to come over
She'd be Dstanding by the window, with her Chair down around her Gshoulder
We'd talk a while and Dthen she'd smile, Cthen she'd lock the Amdoor
And Dshe would sit beside me and Amwe would talk no Gmore

Vespers by Jim Croce

I'd like to think about her and the way she used to love me

D C G

But I just can't live without her, 'cause her arms are not around me

D C Am

And the season's getting later and my body's getting colder

D C G

And the vespers ring and I'm all alone, without my love beside me

She'd call me in the evening, ask me to come over

D C G

She'd be standing by the window, with her hair down around her shoulder

D C Am

We'd talk a while and then she'd smile, then she'd lock the door

D Am G

And she would sit beside me and we would talk no more

D C G D

The bells would ring at six o'clock and she'd be in my arms

C Bm Am G D G

Her head upon my shoulder, gently resting

D C G D G G7

And then she'd wake and look at me, not knowing I'd been watching

C D G

Kiss me softly, then drift off to sleep

She'd call me in the evening and ask me to come over

D C G

She'd be standing by the window, with her hair down around her shoulder

D C Am

We'd talk a while and then she'd smile, then she'd lock the door

D Am G

And she would sit beside me and we would talk no more
