Measure 12/8
Tempo = 62 (Slow), 4 or 2 beats of triplets (12/8)
[Intro]
| 1--2--3--4-- | 1--2--3--4-- |
  C             F    F/G
|             |          |
  C             F    F/G
|             |          |
[Verse 1]
C                           F       F/G
 The light came through the window,
C                        F       F/G
  straight from the sun above,
Dm7                G
  and so inside my little room 
Dm7     G                   C
  there plunged the rays of love.
[Verse 2]
C                     F           F/G
  In streams of light   I clearly saw,
C                     F       F/G
  the dust you seldom see,
Dm7                G
  out of which the nameless makes, 
Dm7      G                 C
  a name   for one like me.
[Chorus]
            F            G
I'll try to say a little more, 
C                F
love went on and on
Dm7                   E
  until it reached an open door 
     F            G               C          C
then love itself, love itself was gone.
[Verse 3]
C                 F           F/G
  All busy in the sunlight,
C                          F       F/G
  the flecks did float and dance;
Dm7                 G
  and I was tumbled up with them 
Dm7  G              C
  in formless circumstance.
[Chorus]
            F            G
I'll try to say a little more, 
C                F
love went on and on
Dm7                   E
  until it reached an open door 
     F            G               C        C
then love itself, love itself was gone.
[Bridge]
            F                   G
Then I came back from where I'd been, 
Am                       Am
  my room, it looked the same;
Dsus4                   D
  but there was nothing left between 
Gsus4          G
  the nameless   and the name.
[Verse 3] (Reprise)
C                 F           F/G
  All busy in the sunlight,
C                          F       F/G
  the flecks did float and dance;
Dm7                 G
  and I was tumbled up with them 
Dm7  G              C
  in formless circumstance.
[ENd-Chorus]
            F            G
I'll try to say a little more, 
C                F
love went on and on
Dm7                   E
  until it reached an open door 
     F            G               C          C
then love itself, love itself was gone.
F           G          G
            ***        *              
Love itself, love itself was 
C       F   F/G       C       F   F/G        C
gone.
