This takes 2 harps, an A and a C.

C HARP:

 

-6  -6  -7 7   -7  -6   6   6   5 6

No milk today, my love has gone away

 5  5 -4     -4    5 -3”   5  5 -4  -4  5   -3”

The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn

-6  -6  -7 7   -7  -6   6  6  5   6

No milk today, it seems a common sight

 5  5 -4    -4  5 -3”  5     5   -4   -4 5  -3”

But people passing by don't know the reason why

 

A HARP:

 

 7    7   -8    8    -9   8   -8   -8  7    -8

How could they know just what this message means

 7   -9 -9  9  -10    7   7  7  -8  -8   8

The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams

 7   7     -8   8   -9   8 -8   -8    7   -8

How could they know the palace there had been

-9 -9   9   -10   7   7   7     -8   -8   7

Behind the door where my love reigned as queen

 

C HARP:

 

-6  -6  -7 7   -7 -6 6    6  5  6

No milk today, it wasn't always so

5   5 -4 -4  5  -3”   5    5    -4   -4 5 -3”

The company was gay, we'd turn night into day

 

A HARP:

 

 7   7    8     -8  -8 9  8     -8   9   8 -8

But all that's left is a place dark and lonely

7  7  8     -8   -8 9  8     -8    7   -8  8

A terraced house in a mean street back of town

 7  7   8   -8    -8  9   8   -8  9  8 -8

Becomes a shrine when I think of you only

-9    8  -8  7  -8 -7

Just two up two do-wn

 

C HARP:

 

-6  -6  -7 7   -7 -6  6   6  5   6

No milk today, it wasn't always so

5   5 -4 -4  5  -3”   5    5    -4   -4 5 -3”

The company was gay, we'd turn night into day

-6 -6 -7    7   -7  -6  6   6  5   6

As music played the faster did we dance

5   5   -4 -4   5  -3”    5    5   -4 -4   5 -3”

We felt it both at once, the start of our romance

 

A HARP:
