 D   C#7    Em7    Edim     A7
Lost April -- where did you go?

 G  Edim     A7   D9   D6    Fdim   E7
Like winter snow,   I saw you van - ish.

 C   B7     A    AM7       A7
Lost April,   so soft and warm,

  F#7       Bm    Bm7-5  E7     Edim    A7
A mem - o - ry not even time can ban - ish.


 D   C#7    Em7      Edim       A7
Lost April,     that taught me this:

G   Edim    A7   D9   D6      Fdim   E7
  A single kiss could lead to Heav - en.

C   B7    Em       B+      Gm
But April     had numbered days,

D6 C#7       F#m    B7      Cdim      B7
So when they passed,   love couldn't last.

B7/F#     G       Em7     Edim  A7    D 
 I  lost love and you and  A - pril, too.



Instrumental Interlude:  First three lines of part two


D6 C#7       F#m    B7      Cdim      B7
So when they passed,   love couldn't last.

B7/F#     G       Em7     Edim  A7    D 
 I  lost love and you and  A - pril, too.
