To her CsilenceG  
Whoa-oh-oh-FohG  
My Cheart was full of Gbitterness
So FdarkG  
And so close to CviolenceG  
The ace of Fspades
Turned Gupside downF  
Nothing Gbeat in my hopeless Fchest

And when sGhe is far aFway
GStill I feel her Fhere
Every Gsince she made the Fday
And the Glonely man disFappearG  
Into that CsilenceG  
WhCoa-oh-oh-Goh
Into that CsilenceG  
Whoa-oh-oh-Foh Goh

C G F G C G F G C

I met her in the summertime

When her arms

Were the colour of silence

A new horizon

And so close to violence

The ace of spades

Turned upside down

An added attraction

The way it goes

And when she is far away

Every since she made the day

And the lonely man disappear

Into that silence
