Departure Bay Chords by Diana Krall

[Ab] _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
The [Fm] fading [Db] sands of summertime [Eb] are beaut as trees and [Fm] firs _
_ The glistening of [Db] rain soaked moss [Fm]
going to the [Gm] dairy [Ab] queen at dusk
_ [Ab] _
Down there [Eb] are roads _ in autumn [Db] light _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] The [F] salt air and the sawmills [Gb] and the bars
[Db] Are full of songs and tears [Fm] to the [Gm] passing 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
_ [F] 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 [Ebm] [Db] to [Bbm] make [Eb] things 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] our [Gm] perfume's on the bathroom [Ab] counter _ And [Eb] I'm sitting in the back [Db] pew _ _ [Eb] crying _
I [Db] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
just get [F] home _ [G] and then I [B] leave [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 back to [Fm] night
[C] We [Fm] _ _ _
took the long way [Bbm] to get back [Fm] [Eb] Like [G] driving over [Ab] the Malahat
_ Now I see plane [Eb] _ _ drones _ and time [Db] has flown
_ I _ _ [Gm] won't miss [Bb] 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 him [Db] home
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ [A] _ [Am] Just [F] get me there _ [C] and one [G] day we'll [A] stay _ [E] _ [A] _ [Am] A [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 [C] _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ [Eb] Departure bay _ _ _
