Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Send  my fond regards to Lonelyville
 I'm staying in my well-appointed valley  on the hill
O  I'll grow hale on seawater
A  son on the honey milk
 And leave  something  to loneliness
 Sweet William will
 I once was there to find the girl that mystic morning's eve
 There in the shade with all things up its leaves
 Waking to the marvel to be northern to be free
 You can hear the sound of southern bells follow where she please
 Some with the forked tongues they'd love again to unlearn
 Some for a heart a brushed yet stainless urn
 You see some say for a spell well it's the last they're seen or heard
 But for all the night falls for each alone each alone will yearn
 Now say hello to the Blind King
 He was two hands younger and both empty of his Queen
 In her place the lone Spade waltzed right in to a silent hymn
 See him bow and bend at twenty one and Jack The Blacksmith's crying
 This is how they come to leave their lonlienesses
 The weeks will pass in a tennis match
 Before she for him undresses
 For so long with no point for the Distant Mister and
 The Near Misses
 T'will be love, love from above when at length the arrow hisses
 The waterfall wallpaper clings to its dear life
 Our two-d holiday burns clear through the night
 The Holy Lonely lead their piebalds down to the tide
 Singing, O no my heart will not be claimed by the fire
 They cast the Independent Man his anchor and his spear
 First in gold then out the capitol and through the prism of his tears
 The moon sets to the great purse of the sea like a folding mirror
 As pointed for the promise land the Sisters disappear
 I set my prayers tonight for Lonelyville
 To fall with the snow at that lone window sill
 The ghost of the Wolf Moonlight to fall on Slater Mill
 And leave something to loneliness Sweet William will.

I once was there to find the girl that mystic morning's eve
There in the shade with all things up its leaves
Waking to the marvel to be northern to be free
You can hear the sound of southern bells follow where she please

Some with the forked tongues they'd love again to unlearn
Some for a heart a brushed yet stainless urn
You see some say for a spell well it's the last they're seen or heard
But for all the night falls for each alone each alone will yearn

Now say hello to the Blind King
He was two hands younger and both empty of his Queen
In her place the lone Spade waltzed right in to a silent hymn
See him bow and bend at twenty one and Jack The Blacksmith's crying
This is how they come to leave their lonlienesses

The weeks will pass in a tennis match
Before she for him undresses
For so long with no point for the Distant Mister and
The Near Misses
T'will be love, love from above when at length the arrow hisses

The waterfall wallpaper clings to its dear life
Our two-d holiday burns clear through the night
The Holy Lonely lead their piebalds down to the tide
Singing, O no my heart will not be claimed by the fire

They cast the Independent Man his anchor and his spear
First in gold then out the capitol and through the prism of his tears
The moon sets to the great purse of the sea like a folding mirror
As pointed for the promise land the Sisters disappear

I set my prayers tonight for Lonelyville
To fall with the snow at that lone window sill
The ghost of the Wolf Moonlight to fall on Slater Mill
And leave something to loneliness Sweet William will.
