 7  -7  7   -7  -8  7  -7   -6  7   
She may be the face I can't forget
-7   7   -7  -8  7   -7 -6  7
 A trace of pleasure or regret
 6  7  -7  -8  7 
May be my treasure
-7  -6   6   -5  5  -5  6
Or the price I have to pay
-5   5  -5   5  6    -5   5  -4   -5
She may be the song that summer sings
 5  -5  5    6    -5   5  -4   5
May be the chill that autumn brings
 3 -3b 4  -5  5   -4   4    -4 
May be a hundred diff-rent things
 3  -3  4   5  -4   4  -3  4 
Within the measure of  a  day

 7  -7   7  -7  -8 7  -7  -6   7  
She may be the beauty or the beast
-7  7  -7   -8  7  -7  -6   7
May be the famine  or the feast
-7   7    -7  -8   7   -7  -6
May turn each day in - to  a 
 6  -5  5  -5  6
Heaven or  a  hell
-5   5  -5  5   6 -5   5 -4   -5 
She may be the mirror of my dream
5   -5   5   6   -5  5 -4   5    
A smile re-flect-ed in a  stream
 3  -3b  4  -5   5   -4  4   -4
She may not be what she may seem
-3b  4   -3   4 
In-side her shell

 7   5   -5 6    -6  -7  7 8   7 7  -7
She who always seems so happy in a crowd
  -7   -6   -7  8  -7  -6  6  -6  -7   -6     
Whose eyes can be  so private and so proud
-4   5    5  -5  6  -6   -8    6   -6  6      
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
-6  -6  6  -6   -7  
She may be the love 
 -6   6 -5   6   -6  6 
That cannot hope to last
 6   -5  6  7   6    6   5  -5  6   -5  
May come to me from shadows of the past
 -4  5  5 -5  -6   -7   -7  7  -7 -7
That I re-mem-ber till the day I die

 7  -7  7   -7  -8 7  -7 -6  7   
She may be the reason I survive
-7   7  -7   -8   7    -7 -6  7 
The why and wherefore I'm a-live
-7   7   -7   -8   7
The one I'll care for
  -7     -6   6    -5  5  -5   6
Through the rough and rea-dy years
-5      5   -5   5    6  -5   5   -4   -5
Me -- I'll take her laughter and her tears
 5   -5    5   6  -5  5  -4  5  
And make them all my souvenirs
 3    -3b  4   -5    5   -4  4  -4  
For where she goes, I've got to be
-3b  -3  4   5 -4   4  -3          
The meaning of my life is 
4       7      -4       -4
She    She     mm      She
