D           A             Em
I caught us laughing in a photograph
D        A         Em          D
Long ago back in a faded past
A     Em
One had a tomorrow
                       D
And one was marked for sorrow

G
Sing: whisper the waters whist
G
You wore the crown
C
I played the clown
C
Oh, yeah
G
And you went on to succeed
G                        C
I was the one one had to bleed
C       G     Em
Oh, why?

D           A             Em
There was a party once in town somewhere
D           A              Em                D
Through the bustling crowd I saw you there
A           Em
Dawning day for you
Em               D
And twilight for me

G
'Cause you were the summer fields
G                          C
I was the autumn's colored leaves
C
Oh, yeah
G
And wreaths of red rose you'd tie
G                         C
The willow garlands green got I
C         G   Em
Oh, why?

Em                   D
If we played a cruel game
D                 Em
Your lot gave the gain
Em                   D
And, Lord, I drew the pain

G
And you claimed a realm to rule
G                           C
Me, I turned sorrow's funny fool
C
'Tis true

G
But whisper the waters whist
G
You wore the crown
  G G G      C
I played the clown
