And D7we fell in love with GBruges

Bruges in the summertime, Cstars in the Amnight 
D7Wine in the warm glow of Gsoft candlelight 
B7Bruges in the summertime Emfeeling so right 
A7Whispering sweet and low “D7Lady, I love you”
So, Cwe will reAmturn when the Dmemories fade 
To the Croom in the Amtown where the Dmemories were made

They's Gbells in the towers, Cbands in the Amsquares
