Once there _ was a secret _ union _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ A serpent _ _ and a _ dust _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Enchanted by their beauty _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ They _ found a _ perfect _ love
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
Although _ the _ garden
_ _ _ _ Was _ [Cm] _
lost to them
_ They [G#] saw to [Gm] _ _ _
purity
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
They [G#] shone _ _ by _ the [C#m] _ _ sunlight _
_ _ A _ gate into [G#m] _ _ the [F#] _ _
sea
_ _ _ A [A] home _ there _ to _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ be
[F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ There they lived beyond all _ reason _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Acquainted by their _ _ _ _ dreams _ _
_ _ _ _ Born in true _ affection _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Their souls would be _ _ _ redeemed
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ Dolphins _ _ _
[G] sung
_ While _ _ [Cm] _
_ sweetly _ hung their _
[G#] _ ears
In [Gm] _ _ sacred _ [F] _ tears _ _ _
They _ [G#] called for _ _
_ [C#m] Our _ saviour _ _
_ To _ _ cast _
[G#m] away their [F#] _ _ _
fears
_ _ They [A] _ prayed there _ _ _ for _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ years _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ Once there was a sacred _ _ union _ _ _ _ _ _ _
A dolphin and a _ whale _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ The purity _ within _ them _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ No other _ could _ _ avail _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
So _ _ _ insatiate _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Cm] A _ peace _ within
Their _ [G#] _
frail and _ [Gm] _ gentle [F] _
_ _ _ ways _ _
[G#] They _ softly _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#m] embraced _ us _
_ And _ sought the _ [G#m] souls [D#m] of _ _ [F#] sails
_ _ _ They [A] _ praised _ us _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ in vain _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [C#m] Once there was a _ magic _ union
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
A beetle _ and a frog _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Their songs were so _ _ _ enchanted _ _ _ _
_ _ _ They _ _ mystified the _ _ fog _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ Although _ _ their singing _ _
_ _ _ Was [Cm] _ _
not as sweet as _ some
[Gm] They _ called the _
[F] _ morning
_ _ _ And [G#] _ brought _ _ up a [C#m] garden _ shiv _ _
On _ _ blows _ [B]
unworn [A#m] and _ _ swarming _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [A] _ Transcending
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ dreams
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ There _ was a frightening _ _ union
_ _ A _ _ _ _ _ sailor _ and a gun
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ They sought to _ seize _ them _ _ _
_ _ A murder just for fun _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
All their _ laughter _
_ _ Bore _ [Cm] tears to _ those
_ _ [G#] Afraid they [Gm] _ slayed [F] and _ dared
_ _ _ _ [G#] That _ others _ _ _ would [C#m] _ seize _ them _ _
And _ leave them [B] _ _
cold [F#] and _ scared _
They _ _ [A] _ _ _ wasted _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ and _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ readied
_ _ [A#m] _ They _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ wasted _ _ _ _ _ and _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ orphaned _ _
