[D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] Let the river _ [Em] rock you like [D] a cradle,
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [D] Climb to the _ [Em] treetops, child, [D] if you're able.
_ _ [Em] _ _ Let [D] your _ hands [Em] tie a knot across [D] the table,
[Em] _ _ [D] _ _ _ Come _ [Bm] and touch the things you cannot feel,
[A] _ _ _ [D] And close [G] your fingertips [D] and fly where [G] I can't hold you.
[D] _ _ Let [G] the sun rain [D] fall and let the dewy [G] clouds enfold you,
[D] _ _ [G] And maybe you can sing [D] to me the [G] words I just told [D] you.
If [Bm] all the things you feel [A] ain't what they seem, _
_ _ _ [D] Then don't [G]
mind me, [F#m] cause _ [Em] I've paid [A] nothing [D] but a _ _ [Em]
dream.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [D] The _ [G] mockingbird sings [D] each different song,
[Em] _ _
_ _ [D] Each _ [Em] song has wings, they [D] won't stay long.
[Em] _ _
_ [D] To those who [Em] hear, _ think [D] he's doing wrong,
[Em] _ _
_ [D] While the church [Em] bell _ tolls its [D] one-note song,
[Em] _ _
_ [D] And the school bell [Em] is tinkling [D] to the [Em] throng.
_ [D] _ _
_ Come here where your ears [A] cannot hear, _ _ _
_ _ [D] And close [G] your ears, _ [D] child, and listen [G] to what I'll tell you.
[D] _ _ Follow [G] in the darkest [D] night the sounds [G] that may impel [D] you,
_ And the [G] songs that I am [D] singing may _ disturb [G] or serve to quell [D] you.
_ If [Bm] all the sounds you [G] hear ain't what they [A] seem, _
_ [D] Then _ don't [G] mind me, _ [F#m] cause I've [Em] paid [A] nothing [D] but a _ [Em] dream. _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] The _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Em] rising smell of [D] fresh-cut grass,
[G] _ _
_ _ [D] Smothered cities [G] choke and yell [D] with fuming _ gas.
[Em] _ _
_ _ [D] I hold [Em] some grapes [D] up to the sun,
_ [Em] _ _
And [D] their [G] flavor _ [D] breaks upon my tongue.
_ [Em] _ _
With [D] _ _ eager [G] _
tongues [D] we taste our _ [Em] strife, _
_ [D] And fill [Em] our lungs [D] with seas of [Em] life.
[D] _ _
_ Come taste and smell the waters [G] of our [A] time, _ _
_ [D] And _ close [Em] your lips, [D] child, so softly [G] I might kiss [D] you.
_ Let [Em] your flower [D] perfume out and let the winds [G] caress you.
[D] _ _ As I [G] walk on through, _ [D] _ I'm [G] hoping I don't miss [D] you.
If all the things you taste [Em] ain't what they seem,
[A] _ _
_ _ [D] Then don't [Bm] mind me, [A] cause _ [G] I've paid [A] nothing _ [D] but a [Em] dream. _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ The [Em]
sun and [D] moon, both are [Em] right,
_ And [D] we'll see [Em] them soon through [D] days of night.
[Em] _
_ _ [D] But now silver [Em] leaves on mirrors [D] bring delight, _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [D] And the color of [Em] your eyes are [D] fiery bright.
[Em] _ _ _ _ [D] While darkness [Em] _ blinds the skies [D] with all its [Em]
light.
[D] _ _ _ Come see [Bm] where your eyes [Em] cannot see,
[A] _ _ _ _ [D] And close _ [G] your eyes [D] _ _
and look, [G] I'll show [D] you. _
Let [G] your mind go [D] reeling as the breezes [G] flow you.
_ [D] _
And maybe [G] when we [D] meet, _ suddenly [G] I will know [D] you.
_ _ [Bm] If all the things you [G] see ain't what they [A] seem, _ _
[D] Then _ don't mind [Bm] _ me, [F#m] cause [Bm] I've [Em] paid [A] nothing [D] but a [A] [Em] dream.
_ And [D] you can follow, [Em] _ _ _
and [D] you can _ [E] follow, _ [D] _ _
_ follow.
