[Am]It was the [C]third of June[F]..[C].on that summer's day[F][C]
when I became [F]a [C]man at the hands [F]of a [C]girl
almost [G]twice my age.
And she [C]came to me[F]..[C]..just like a morning sun[F],[C]
and it wasn't [F]so [C]much her words [F]as [C]such,
as the [G]way they were sung, it was the way they were [C]sung.
CHORUS:
[C]Desiree, Oh, Desiree..
There I was found by the sweet passion sound
of your [G]loving song.
Time was right, the night was long.
Remember, [C]Desiree, oh, Desiree.
Somehow I knew I could only have you til the [G]morning light.
If only for that single night, sweet Desiree, you [C]made it right[F].[C]
#3.
[Am]Then came the fourth of June[F]..[C].on that sleepless night[F].[C]
Well, I tossed and [F]I [C]turned, while the thought of [F]her [C]burned
up and [G]down my mind.
For she was [C]there and gone[F]..[C]..without one regret[F].[C]
But she [F]continues [C]on, like the words of [F]a [C]song
I could [G]not forget..I could not [C]forget.
CHORUS:
[C]Desiree, Oh, Desiree..
There I was found by the sweet passion sound
of your [G]loving song.
Time was right, the night was long.
Remember, [C]Desiree, oh, Desiree.
Somehow I knew I could only have you til the [G]morning light.
If only for that single night, sweet Desiree, you [C]made it right[F].[C]
