Like [Bb] the loneliness that harvests round [C] the pyramids
Is [F] the loneliness around my [Bb] heart for you _ [F] Ever since the time [G] I left that sunny climb
[C] Where gum trees grow and skies [F] are ever blue _ _ [Bb] When evening falls, when [F] beauty calls
Your sweet face seems to haunt me [D] through and through
_ _ [Eb] Like [G] the loneliness that [C] harvests round the pyramids

him so dear [C] The old refrain once more now [F] fills his _ _ ears
[F] Like the [Bb] loneliness that harvests round [C] the _ pyramids

[C] Where gum trees grow and skies are ever blue _ _
