[Key - Bb]

[VERSE 1]
Bb
How sad Venice can be
     F
When you return alone
   Gm
To find a memory
                F
In every paving stone.
Cm
I walk among the birds
     F
That fill San Marco's Square
     C
With echoes of her words
                 F
Around me in the air.


[CHORUS]
Bb
How sad Venice can be
         G
When the mandolins play
  Cm
A song she sung for me
                F
One unforgotten day.
Bb
Like images of sleep
Eb
The gondoliers go by
    Cm
But when I try to weep
  F                 Bb
I find my tears are dry.


[Key Change - B]

[VERSE 2]
B
How sad Venice can be
     Abm
When mist is in your eyes
            C#m
And you can hardly see
                    F#
As pigeons fill the skies.
  C#m
I find the little street
    F#
And then the old café
      C#m
Where we would always meet
                  F#
To dream away the day.


[CHORUS]
B
How sad Venice can be
   A                Ab
Be-neath the silent moon
 C#m
That rises from the sea
                   F#
And silvers the la-goon.
  B
I hear the vespers chime
    Abm
And cross the Bridge of Sighs
  C#m
I know that it is time
   F#               B
To bid my last good-byes.


[Key Change - C]

[SEGUE]
C
There's nothing more to say
  F
I pass beneath the light
           Dm
And then I turn away
     G             C
From Venice in the night.


[OUTRO]
C
How sad Venice can be
     F             A
It's too lonely to bare
     F
When you have lost the love
     G              C
That you discovered there.
