Departure Bay Chords by Diana Krall

[Fm] _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
The [Fm] fading [Db] scent of summertime, [Eb] of beauties trees [Fm] and firs _
_ The [Db] glistening of rain soaked moss, [Fm]
going to the [Gm] dairy [Ab] queen at dusk
[Db] _ [Ab] _
Down there [Eb] are roads, _ in autumn [Db] light
The _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ [F] salt air and the sawmills [Gb] and the bars [Db] are full of songs and tears
[Gb] [Fm] To the passing [Gm] of [Ab] the tugboats and [Eb] people with their [Db] big ideas
I [Eb] _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ just [F] get home and [A] then [G] I [A] leave again
[E] _ _ [Am] _ It's long [F] ago and far [C] away
_ _ Now _ _ [Cm] we're [Bb] skimming _ [Eb] _
stones and [Cm] [Gm] exchanging _ [C] [Cm] rings
_ They're [Bb] scattering [Eb] _ [Cm] and sailing from [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
departure _ [Cm] bay
_ The _
[Fm] _ _ house was bare of [Db] Christmas lights
[Eb] It came down [Ab] hard [Fm] that year
_ _ _ _ Outside [Db] in our overcoats
_ [Fm] [F] Drinking down to [Ab] the bitter end
_ _ Trying [Db] to [Bbm] make things [Eb] right, _ [Ab] _ [Eb] _ _ like my [Db] mother did
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] Last year we were laughing, [Ab] _ _ we sang [Db] in church so beautifully
[Gb] Now [Fm] we're [Gm] perfumes on the bathroom [Ab] counter
_ And [Eb] I'm sitting in my back [Db] pew, _ _ [Eb] crying _
_ [Db] I _ _ _ [Am] _ _
just get [F] home _ [G] and then I leave [B] _ [Am] again _ _ _
It's long [F] ago and far [C] away _
_ _ Now _ [Cm] we're [Gm]
skimming _ [Eb] stones _ and [Gm]
exchanging _ [C] rings
_ [Cm] They're [Gm]
scattering [Eb] and [Ab] sailing from [Eb] _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ departure _ [Cm] _
bay
The _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ [C] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] song plays on the [Db] _ gramophone [Eb] and thoughts turn [Fm] back in [C] life
_ [Fm] _ _ _
We took the long way [Db] to get back, [Ab] [Eb] like [G] driving over [Ab] a mallet head
_ Now I see plane [Eb] _ _ drones and time [Db] has flown
_ I _ _ [Gm] won't [Bb] miss all the [F] [Fm] glamour
While [Ab] my heart [Db] is beating and [Gb] the lilacs [Db] bloom
[Fm] But who [Eb] knew when [Ab] I started
_ [Eb] That I'd find a love and bring [Db] him home
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ [A] _ [Am] Just [F] get me there and [C] one [G] day we'll [A] stay
_ A [Am] _ _ [F] long time off and [C] far away _ _ _
Now _ [Cm] we're [Gm] skimming _ [Eb]
stones _ [Cm] and [Gm] exchanging _ [Cm]
rings
_ We're [Gm] scattering _ [Eb]
and diving in _ [Gm] [Fm] departure _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] bay _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ [Gm] _ [Cm] _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Gm] _
