Pussy Willow 

INTRO    Am     F           G 

Am     F           G         D         Am 
In the half-tone light of a young morning 
      C            D            E 
she sighs and shifts on the pillow. 
       F           G         D                 F 
And across her face dancing, the first shadows fly 
    G               Am 
to kiss the Pussy Willow. 
Am     F           G              D         Am 
In her fairy-tale world she's a lost soul singing 
      C            D     E 
in a sad voice nobody hears. 
       F           G         D   F 
She waits in her castle of make-believing 
         G               Am 
for her white knight to appear. 
Am                     C        G 
Pusy Willow --- down fur-lined avenue 
Am                           F          G 
brushing the sleep from her young woman eyes. 
Am                                          G 
Runs for the train --- see, eight o'clock's coming 
F                       G       D 
cutting dreams down to size again. 

REST THE SAME HALF TONE UP 

Pussy Willow --- down fur-lined avenue 
brushing the sleep from her young woman eyes. 
Runs from the train. Hear her typewriter humming 
cutting dreams down to size again. 

She longs for the East and a pale dress flowing 
an apartment in old Mayfair. 
Or to fish the Spey, spinning the first run of Spring 
or to die for a cause somewhere. 

Pussy Willow --- down fur-lined avenue 
brushing the sleep from her young woman eyes. 
Runs from the train. Hear her typewriter humming 
cutting dreams down to size again.
