Verse 2
D 
Though they shared  (D major) the common bed
G 
Em 
there was  (G major) precious little said  (E minor) 
A 
In the  (A major) mo ments that were
D 
set aside for sleep (D major) ing
For his busy dreams were filled
G 
Em 
with the  (G major) rooms he'd yet to build  (E minor) 
A 
And he  (A major) never heard young
G 
A 
Helen Darby  (G major) weep (A major) ing
D 
Then one night  (D major) he heard the sound
G 
Em 
 (G major) as he laid his pencil  (E minor) down
A 
And  (A major) he traced it to her door
D 
and turned the  (D major) handle
And the pale light of the moon through
G 
Em 
the  (G major) window  (E minor) of  the room
A 
Split the  (A major) shadows where
G 
A 
two bod (G major) ies lay in tangle  (A major) 
G 
Oh it took  (G major) three hundred days
