Chords for The Incredible String Band - Painting Box

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ You know, one thing I think that singers always talk about [G] when they get together is like
how they never see each other except when they're doing a gig together.
And [D] so it's really [G] beautiful to have Mike and Robin here today, because otherwise I'd
probably never get a chance to see them.
So as long as they're here, we thought we'd try to do a song that Mike wrote called Painting Boss.

_ _ _ [Em] When the [C] morning [Am] of your eyes comes [G] waking through my [C] _
shadows, _ [Em] leaving [C] just [Am] a trace of
_ [G] twilight sleep, _ _ _ _ _
I [Em] whisper [C] to the [Am]
baby raindrops [G] playing on [C] my window _ [Em] and tell them [C] gently
[G] this is not the [D] time that they [G] should _ weep.
For [D] somewhere in my mind there is a [G] painting box.
[D] I have every color there is [G] true.
[D] Just lately when I look inside [G] my painting box, [D] I seem to pick the colors [G] for you. _ _ _ _

[Em] My Friday [C] _ [Am] evening's footsteps plodding [G] dully through this [C] black town [Em] are far [C] away [Am] now from
the world that [G] I'm in. _ _ _ _
_ [Em] My eyes [C] are listening [Am] to some sounds that [G] I think just might [C] be springtime.
With _ daffodils [G] between my toes, [D] I'm laughing at [G] the wind.
_ [D] And somewhere in my mind there is [G] a painting box.
[D] I have every color there [G] is true.

[Em] The purple [C] sail [Am] above me catches [G] all the strength [C] of summer.
_ [Em] _
Fishes [C] stop and [Am] ask me where [G] I'm bound. _ _ _
_ I [Em] smile and [C] shake my [Am] head and say [G] my little ship is [C] sinking.
[Em] But I kind [C] of like [G] the sea that I'm on [D] and I don't mind if we [G] do drown.
