Avalon

Words & Music:

Al Jolson, Bud DeSylva & Al Rose (1920)

 

There's an arrangement of this in the November 2007 issue of Acoustic Guitar.

 

  Am               D7        G6

I found my love in Avalon, beside the bay.

  Am              D7            G6

I left my love in Avalon, and I sail'd away.

  Bm7              E7           Am7       Cm7

I dream of her and Avalon, from dusk 'til dawn.

G6               E7            Am7 D7 G6

So, I think I'll travel on, to A---va-lon.

 

Ev'ry morn my mem'ries stray

Across the sea where flying fishes play.

And as the night is falling,

I find that I'm recalling,

That blissful all enthralling day;

 

Beside the bay and I sailed away

I dream of her and Avalon from dusk 'til dawn.

So I think I'll travel on to Avalon.
