Intro: Em - D* - Cmaj7+11 - Em (4x)

Verse 1 (same as intro):
Em        D*
Say hello to the sea
   Cmaj7+11      Em
Or to the holy water
Em        D*
Say hello to the sea
  Cmaj7+11         Em
Under the skies of azure

And I met him yesterday
Under my old umbrella
And I met him yesterday
Under the skies of azure

Chorus:
    Cmaj7             D             Em        Em
And turquoise was the colour of his eyes
    Cmaj7           D         Em         Em
And bitter wine the colour of mine

Verse 2:
He was tall, gracefully
Held my empty fingers
He was tall, gracefully
He filled my curled hot body

And I met him yesterday
Under the skies of azure
And I met him yesterday
Under my old umbrella

Chorus

Outro (Same as intro, only this time repeat 6x; slow down towards the last one and 
end on an Em arpeggio)
