9th, 39th and 647th chords. the chords used here are not dead on by
any means, but are about as close as you can get on a guitar without
raiding the chord books. the relative pitch is right, its just the
absolute pitch that may be off a little.
G D C D Em C
it felt like springtime on this february morning
G D G D
in the courtyard birds were singing your praise
C D Em C
i'm still recalling things you said to make me feel
G D
alright, i carry them with me today now
chorus:
G D C D G D C
as i lay me down to sleep, yes i pray, that you will hold me dear
D G D C D G
though i'm far away, i whisper your name, into the sky
D C D
and i will wake up happy
G D C D Em C
i wonder why -- i feel so high, while i'm not above my sorrow
G D G
heavy hearted 'til you call my name
D C D Em
and it sounds like churchbells or the whistle of a train
C G D
on a summer evening I want to meet you there, i'm barely breathing...
<< chorus x2 >>
G D C D G
it's not too near for me, like a flower i need the rain
