Chorus A C D E Once we walked the crumbling cliffs A C D E where the birch trees lean; A C D E Once I kissed your apple lips A E B high above the sea. Interlude EACDEGFB Verse E A C D E A year ago it was when the last clover grew. A E B Under creaking birch trees I would wait for you. E A C D E We kissed in the salt air between the leaning trees, A E A E white slender branches bent to the sea. Chorus A C D E Once we walked the crumbling cliffs A C D E where the birch trees lean; A C D E now who will kiss your apple lips A E B under the salty sea Outro EFGF#m EFGFGFEm
