I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Fm Cmaj7 Bb9
Traveling through all these highs and lows

I heard there was no sickness

Just mercy and plenty

Fm C9
Come all you fair and tender school girls
Fm Cmaj7 Bb9
Be careful now--when you court young men
F
They are like the stars
Ab Bb
On a summer morning
F
They sparkle up the night
Fm
And they're gone again
C9
Daybreak--gone again

Fm C9
If I'd only seen through the silky veils of ardor
Fm Cmaj7 Bb9
What a killing crime this love can be
F
I would have locked up my heart
Ab Bb
In a golden sheath of armor
F
And kept its crazy beating
Fm
Under strictest secrecy
C9
High security

[Verse]
Fm
I wish I had the wings
C9
Of Noah's pretty little white dove
Fm Cmaj7
So I could fly this raging river
Bb9
To reach the one I love
F
But I have no wings
Ab Bb
And the water is so wide
F
We'll have to row a little harder
Fm
It's just in dreams we fly
C9
In my dreams we fly!
