[Intro]: Dm Bbmaj7 Em7 A7 Dm Bbmaj7 E7sus4 A7   x2

           Gm             F       C/E Dm
She only smiles, he only tells her
       E7sus4                A7         Dm
That she's the flowers, the wind and spring
              Gm                 F       C/E Dm
In all her splendour sweetly surrendering
   E7sus4     A7          Dm
The love that innocence brings

   Gm C          F    Bbmaj7
Almaz, pure and simple
          Em7          A7      Dm C/E F
Born in a world where love survives
     Gm               C                  F       Bbmaj7
Now men will want her, cause life don't haunt her
 E7sus4     A7
Almaz, you lucky lucky thing

[Interlude]: Dm Bbmaj7 Em7 A7 Dm Bbmaj7 E7sus4 A7

              Gm                   F  C/E Dm
Now I watch closely, and I watch wholly
       E7sus4  A7        Dm
I can't imagine love so rare
                 Gm                    F      C/E Dm
She's young and tender, but will life bend her
       E7sus4  A7            Dm
I look around, is she everywhere

   Gm C          F    Bbmaj7
Almaz, pure and simple
          Em7          A7      Dm C/E F
Born in a world where love survives
     Gm               C                  F       Bbmaj7
Now men will want her, cause life don't haunt her
 E7sus4     A7
Almaz, you lucky lucky thing

[Interlude]: Dm Bbmaj7 Em7 A7 Dm Bbmaj7 E7sus4 A7

               Gm                     F    C/E Dm
He throws her kisses, she shares his wishes
          E7sus4   A7          Dm C/E F
I'm sure he's keen, without a doubt
      Gm                         F     C/E Dm
With love so captive, so solely captive
E7sus4   A7                Dm C/E F
I ask if I could play the part

Gm    C          F    Bbmaj7
Almaz, pure and simple
          Em7 A7               Dm C/E F
Born in a world where love survives
     Gm               C                  F       Bbmaj7
Now men will want her, cause life don't haunt her
 E7sus4     A7           Dm
Almaz, you lucky lucky thing
 E7sus4     A7           Dm
Almaz, you lucky lucky thing
 E7sus4     A7           Dm
Almaz, you lucky lucky thing
