Watermark Lyrics
(Composer: Jimmy Webb)
(Art Garfunkel Version from same titled Album)
NB!!
The Chords as written into the lyrics, might not fit exact on the beat.
So you'll benefit from listen to the song, and play along With it.
The beat is in 2/4- measure, as i'd interped it
NOte that ?Salvation Army? fingerings won't do!
Use fingerings in positions V - IX ; and you're on!
Good Luck; & ENJOY!
Count: 2/4-bars
INTRO:
Dm-add9 x 4-bars
(add9) - -
How delicate the tracery of her fine lines
(maj7) (maj7)
Like the moonlight lacetops of the evening pines
Like a song half heard through a closed door
Like an old book when you cannot read the writing anymore
How innocent her visage as my child lover lies
(maj7)
Pressed against the rainswept windy windows of my eyes
Like an antique etching glass design
That somehow turned out wrong
I keep looking through old varnish
At my late lover's body
Caught on ancient canvas
And decaying...disappearin
Even as I sing this song
Instrumental Bridge:
Bb / Am7 / Gm / :/: / :/: : // to verse;
Repeat Chord sequence of 1st verse
How secretly and silently my sorrow disappears
You can't see it with your eyes or hear it with your ears
It's like a Watermark that's never there and never really gone
I keep looking through old varnish
At my late lover's body
Caught on ancient canvas
And decaying...disappearing
Even as I sing this song
Even as I sing this song
Even as I sing this song
