Deep Purple

Music by Peter De Rose (1934),
Words added later by Mitchell Parish (1939)

          Eb         Edim       Fm            Bb7
When the deep purple falls over sleepy garden walls,

        Eb             Bbm             C7
And the stars begin to flicker in the sky,

            Fm        B6
Through the mist of a memory,

Eb        Gbdim
You wander back to me

Fm              Bb7         Eb   Bb7
Breath - ing my name with a sigh.

       Eb           Edim        Fm               Bb7
In the still of the night, once again I hold you tight;

              Eb                   Bbm                C7
Though you're gone, your love lives on when moonlight beams;

       Fm         B6
And as long as my heart will beat,

Eb              Gbdim
Lov - er, we'll always meet

Fm         Bb7         Eb
Here in my deep purple dreams.
