Misty Lane
(Siegel)
by THE CHOCOLATE WATCH BAND, 1967

Intro:

Cm Bb Ab G

Chorus:

Cm    Bb    Ab    G
Down, Down, Misty Lane
Cm    Bb    Ab    G
Willow weep in the summer rain
Cm    Bb    Ab    G
Down, Down, Misty Lane
Eb          F         Bb->C     Bb->C
I wish that we were there again

C                     G
The gentle grass that rests beneath us
Gm              F
As we lay where no one saw us
Fm            C
On and on our lips together
F#7             F                 Bb->C      Bb->C
Each one hoping that the other felt the same

Though now you're gone and summer's passed
The echoes of our love will last
Seasons change and time erases
Other people, other places, you remain

(repeat intro)

Our days were days of love and laughter
Keeping joyful memories after
You had gone and laughed no longer
Love was strong but time was stronger, so it seems

The secret places that we discovered
Now when winter's rains have covered
Still I find my heart will free you
As I lay to sleep I see you in my dreams

(chorus)

        C               F 
They'll come a day when dreams come true
    D           G
And I will be embracing you
    Eb                 Ab
The love that time has torn apart
     D            G
Will stay alive inside my heart

(repeat intro)

(repeat chorus to fade)
