 They told me when I was little
 I'd go to heaven,  if I was good
 Now I'm a long way from little
 'Cause I tried to find heaven,  'Cause I thought that I could
 I thought that I could
 And I thought I loved Harold  and really  loved John,
 I really loved Alphy  and I almost loved Tom.
 I loved them so easy  and I loved  them so  free,
 So I don't think heaven  will wanna love me.
 Hallo, song of the willow,
 The dreams under my pillow  turned to tears that I cried.
Beauty  and love are our riddle,
 Never to answer  but always to try
 And boy, did I try.
 I tried with Harold  and I tried  with John,
 I tried with Alphy  and almost with Tom.
 I left myself open  for the whole world  to see,
 Now the world is heaven  that won't accept me.
 I said goodbye to Harold  and goodbye  to John,
 Goodbye to Alphy  and goodbye to Tom.
 I loved them so easy  and I loved  the so free,
 So I don't think heaven  will wanna love me.
Oh  say, can you see,  by the dawn's early light
 No light will shine me?

[Am]  They told me when I was [G]little
I'd go to heav[F]en, if I was [Am]good
[Am]  Now I'm a long way from l[G]ittle
'Cause I tried to find h[F]eaven, 'Cause I thought that I c[Am]ould
I thought that I [G]could

And I thought I loved H[C]arold and rea[F]lly loved Joh[G]n,
I really loved A[Dm]lphy and I almost loved [C]Tom.
I loved them so [C]easy and I [F]loved them so[G] free,
So I don't think h[F]eaven will wanna love [Am]me.

[Am]  Hallo, song of the [G]willow,
The dreams under my [F]pillow turned to tears that I [Am]cried[Am].
[Am]Beauty and love are our [G]riddle,
Never to a[F]nswer but always to t[Am]ry
And boy, did I [G]try.

I tried with H[C]arold and I [F]tried with [G]John,
I tried with [Dm]Alphy and almost with [C]Tom.
I left myself o[C]pen for the whole [F]world to [G]see,
Now the world is [F]heaven that won't accept m[Am]e. [Am]
I said goodbye to [C]Harold and g[F]oodbye to [G]John,
Goodbye to [Dm]Alphy and goodbye to [C]Tom.
I loved them so e[C]asy and I l[F]oved the so fr[G]ee,
So I don't think h[F]eaven will wanna love m[Am]e.

[End]
[Am]Oh say, can you [G]see, by the dawn's early [F]light
No light will shine [Am]me?
