          ---------------------------------------| Gm
N------------------------------------------------|ow you are go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-one

Verse 2:

I heard you laughing

With your laugh of gold

When I called out to you

Silence returned and the air was cold

The castle fell, now you are gone

And no more rings the bell

Now you are gone

Verse 3:

I found your letter

On the day it rained

When I tore it open

There in my hands only ash remained

The castle fell, now you are gone

And no more rings the bell

Now you are gone

Verse 4:

I felt you breathing

As I fell asleep

When I reached to touch you

No one was there and the night was deep

The candle died, now you are gone

For the flame was too bright

Now you are gone

(repeat verse 1:)

Verse 1:

I saw you walking

Only yesterday

When I ran to catch you

You disappeared and the street was gray

The castle fell, now you are gone

And no more rings the bell

Now you are gone
