Intro: Am, F, G
Verse 1:
AmFGDAm
In the half-tone light of a young morning
CDE
she sighs and shifts on the pillow.
FGDF
And across her face dancing, the first shadows fly
GAm
to kiss the Pussy Willow.
Verse 2:
AmFGDAm
In her fairy-tale world she's a lost soul singing
CDE
in a sad voice nobody hears.
FGDF
She waits in her castle of make-believing
GAm
for her white knight to appear.
Chorus 1:
AmCG
Pussy Willow --- down fur-lined avenue
AmFG
brushing the sleep from her young woman eyes.
AmG
Runs for the train --- see, eight o'clock's coming
FGD
cutting dreams down to size again.
Rest of song half step up
Chorus 2:
A#mC#G#
Pussy Willow --- down fur-lined avenue
A#mF#G#
brushing the sleep from her young woman eyes.
A#mG#
Runs from the train. Hear her typewriter humming
F#G#D#
cutting dreams down to size again.
Verse 3:
F#G#D#A#m
She longs for the East and a pale dress flowing
C#D#F
an apartment in old Mayfair.
F#G#D#F#
Or to fish the Spey, spinning the first run of Spring
G#A#m
or to die for a cause somewhere.
Chorus 3:
A#mC#G#
Pussy Willow --- down fur-lined avenue
A#mF#G#
brushing the sleep from her young woman eyes.
A#mG#
Runs from the train. Hear her typewriter humming
F#G#D#
cutting dreams down to size again.
