F Bb C
Oh lord, i’m tired, it’s time to go to bed,
F C Gm C
Way, after midnight, and the wine’s gone to my head,
Bb Bdim F Bb
Lying here upon the shore just listening to the waves,
F Bb Csus4 C
And it’s been a perfect day.
F Bb C
Packed up a picnic and set off for the sea,
F C Gm C
Taking all the back roads where no-one else would be,
Bb Bdim
My and you and Paul and Sue,
F Bb
How we laughed the time away,
F Bb Csus4 C
And we had a perfect day.

I brought along my old guitar,
A
And lying there beneath the stars,

We sang all the beatle songs we knew,

Lord you should have heard those harmonies,
C F C Bb F
When we did nowhere man and let it be…
F C Bb F x3

My love, if we should break up,

Should we ever part,
F C
And you’re searching for some memory,

To help your aching heart,

Forget about the hurtful things,
F Bb
That lovers often say,
F Bb Csus4
And remember this perfect day.

And i was strumming at my old guitar,
Dm C Bb
Trying to think of something everybody knew,

And then you said “though it’s far away,
C F Bb F
A christmas song would really make my day.”
C
And everbody sang…
C Bb F Bb F
Bb F C Bb F F C Bb
