1. The autumn leaves were falling on these old cathedral walls,

                      Dm                                   C                      G

    there were candles in the darkness, singing in the choir.

            Am                                             Em

    And reading out the names of all the ones who've gone before,

                         F                                                          C               G

    well, I could tell that you were thinking about the meaning of it all.

    to the wonder and the glory, and the stars in the sky."

2. We went down to the river, and we found a small cafe,

                          Dm                                            - C                             G

    they say that over in the corner sat the writer      Ernest Hemmingway.

            Am                                          Em

    And here he made his story of the lovers in the war,

                            F                                              C               G

    and through it all they stayed together till the rain had to fall.

    who will teach me, with conviction all the ways of the heart?"

                    F                             G
