Intro: F
F C
Oh Lord, I'm tired, it's time to go to bed,
F C Gm C
Way after midnight and the wine's gone to my head,
Bb G C Bb
Lying here upon the shore just listening to the waves,
F Bb C
And it's been a perfect day.
F C
Packed up a picnic and set off for the sea,
F C Gm C
Taking all the back roads where no-one else would be,
Bb G C Bb
Me and you and Paul and Sue, how we laughed the time away,
F Bb C
And we had a perfect day.
A

And lying there beneath the stars,
Dm C Bb
We sang all the Beatles songs we knew,
Gm
Lord you should have heard those harmonies,
C F C Bb F F C Bb F F C Bb F F C Bb F

F C
My love, if we should break up, should we ever part,
F C Gm C
And you're searching for some memory to help your aching heart,
Bb G C Bb
Forget about the hurtful things that lovers often say,
F Bb C
And remember this perfect day.
A
Then people start coming around the fire,
A
And I was strumming at my old guitar,
Dm C Bb
Trying to think of something everybody knew,
Gm
And then you said "though it's far away,
C F C Bb
A Christmas song would really make my day."
F C G C F C F C G C C G C
And everbody sang...
Bb G
And all I really want to do,
C Bb
Is sing songs for you,
F Bb C
Then it's been a perfect day,
F Bb F
Yes it's been a perfect day.
