Last night another fella kept asking for this song, but I didn't sing it.
So I made the fellas wait [N] a little bit.
16
[Em]
years, [G] 16 banners, [D] united over [Em] the fields, with [C] a good [D] shepherd's breeze.
[Em] Desperate men, [D] [Em] [G] desperate women, [D] everybody spread [Em] their wings.
This is [C] the [D] family, virgin [Em]
cows, has [G] their blood.
[D] From the fountains to the [Em] mungy plains, to [C] the beach, a [D] ripple tower, when let [Em] me poke at her.
[Em] She's smelling [G] sweet, [D] like the meadow where she's [Em] born.
[D] [Em] Gone with the [C] sunshine,
[D] into [G] the tower, the cold [Em] flood is her fusion.
The captain [G] waits, beyond [D] the celebration, sending [Em] his thoughts to [C] a beloved [D] maid, whose [Em] every face is [G] denied.
[D] Communication, the captain [Em] is found, but still believing that [C] his [D] love will be [G] repaid.
[Em]
Still still, I'm not, I [G] broke fast.
[D] With the pitches, [Em] with the stitches, still bent in fever, [C]
I'm not sure if [D] I too, will [Em] ever get peace.
And [G] I dread this, [D] young virginess, [Em] the braving and the flowers, that [C] I give into [D] you, when you shake [Em] her head.
She [G] was dying to meet you, but [D] I followed a message [Em] to arrive.
With [C] a glad night, [D] gave up the season [Em] from the stairs.
And [G] I could not, [D] help but follow, [Em]
where [C] they lived in her [D] pale, and [Em] blue years.
Where dark [G] soldiers, [D] are reflected in [Em] this rose.
And [C] the wedding [D] of child, in [Em] the broom.
Where her [G] memory, [D] is protected, [B] with a [Em] pale voice, is whispered to the [C] souls [D] of these [G] eyes.
[F#] [Em]
She waited in blood, and I [G] laid down, the [D] sun is breaking, [A] and broken [Em] chains.
Mountain, [C] low and rumbling [D] rocks, he begs [Em] you help.
What [G] measures, he will [D] be taking.
[A] [Em] Then I'll hold you, for then, I'll be [C] with the flower, [D] rolling [G] in the clouds.
Gentle [Em] baby said, I [G] don't need, [D] organization, I'm shaggy [Em] shoes.
A couple [C] of blue lavers, [D] much too far, for [Em] even for them.
First you [G] must, brace yourself, for [D] the nation, arrests [Em] your heart, must have the courage.
Father, [C] take, [D] and honor, [G] the gods, if peace [Em] will come.
His [G] chastity, [D] is different from the [E] rest of the [Em] higher.
Won't give [C] us, no, reward, [D] when the sun light [Em] goes down.
And [G] the rose, that [D] is reflected, with [Em] a pale voice, is whispered, by [C] the king [D] and the [G] dinosaurs.
