 [VERSE 1]
 |G/D C |G/D G
 A family of musicians took shelter for the night
 |G C |G/D G |
 In the little harbor church of St. Cecilia
 C |G/D G |
 Two guitars, bata, bass drum and tambourine
 C |G/D G G/B |
 Rose of Jericho and Bougainvillea
 
 [Pre-Chorus]
 Am G G/B | Am G G/B | Am G |
 This is a lone---ly life
 D G/B Am G D/F#|C/G |
 Sorrows everywhere you turn
 |Bb Am G C |
 And that's worth something when you think about it
 Bb Am G C |
 That's worth some money
 |Bb Am G C |
 And that's worth something when you think about it
 Bb Am G C |Bb Am G
 That's worth some money
 
 [VERSE 2]
 |G/D C |G/D G |
 A trip to the market, a trip into the pearl gray morning sunlight
 C |G/D G |
 That settles over Washington
 C |G/D G
 A trip to the market, a trip around the world
 | C |G/D G
 Where the evening meal is negotiable, if there is one.
 
 [PRE-CHORUS]
 G/B |Am G G/B| Am G G/B | Am G |
 This is a lonely-lone, lonely life
 D G/B Am G D/F#|C/G |
 Sorrows everywhere you turn

 And that's worth something when you think about it
 Bb Am G C |
 That's worth some money
 |Bb Am G C |
 And that's worth something when you think about it
 Bb Am G C |Bb Am G | C | G | C |G G/B Am|
 That's worth some money
 
 [CHORUS]
 G C |G D |
 To prove that I love you, Because I believe in you
 G C |G G/B Am G|
 Summer skies, stars are falling all along the injured coast
 G C |G D |
 If I have money If I have children
 G C |G G/B Am G|
 Summer skies, stars are falling all along the injured coast
 G C |G D |
 Oo-wah Oo-wah Doo-wop a Doo-wah
 G C |G G/B Am G|
 Summer skies, stars are falling all along the injured coast

 [VERSE 3]
 G | C |G/D G
 We are standing in the sunlight, the early morning sunlight

 In the harbor church of Saint Cecilia
 G/D G C |G/D G
 To praise a soul's returning to the earth
 | C |G/D G G/B |
 To the Rose of Jericho and the Bougainvillea
