Candida (1970) (midi)

D

1. The stars won't come out, if they know that you're about,

A

’cause they couldn't match the glow of your eyes.

A7 A A7

And, oh, who am I? Just an ordinary guy,

A A7 D - D7

trying hard to win me first prize.

G D

Oh, my Candida, we could make it together,

A A7 D

the further from here, girl, the better, where the air is fresh and clean.

D7 G D

O…ho, Candida, just take my hand and I'll lead ya,

A A7 D - A

I promise life will be sweeter, and it said so in my dreams.

D

2. The future is bright, the gypsy told me so last night,

A

said she saw our children playing in the sunshine.

A7 A A7

And there were you and I, in a house, baby, no lie,

A A7 D - D7

and all these things were yours and they were mine.
