Why do you stand by the [E] window, _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ Abandoned to beauty [A] and pride? _ _
The thorn of the night _ [E] in your bosom, _ _ _ [D] A spear of the [A] age in your side, _
_ _ [E] _ [A] Lost in the rages [E] of fragrance, _ _ [D] Or lost in the rags of [A] _ remorse,
_ _ _ _ Lost in the waves of a [E] sickness, _ _ _ [D] That loosens the high [Bm] [A] silver _ nerves.
_ [E] O chosen love, _ _ now frozen love, O [D]
tangle of [A] matter and ghost,
_ _ _ [E] O darling of angels, _ demons and saints, [D] And the whole broken [A] _ -hearted host,
_ Gentle [E] this soul, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
and come [A] forth From your cloud of [E] unknowing, _ _ _
And [D] kiss the cheek of [A] the moon, _ _ The new _ _ Jerusalem [E] glowing. _ _ _
Why [D] tarry all [A] night in this room, _ _ _ And leave no word _ of [E] discomfort, _ _
Or leave [D] no _ observer to [A] _ mourn, _ But climb on your tears [C#m] and [E] be silent, _ _
Like [D] the rose on its [F#m] ladder [Bm] [A] of thorn. _ _
_ [E] O chosen _ love, _ now frozen _ love, [D] O tangle of [A] matter and ghost, _
O _ [E] darling of angels, _ demons and saints, [D] And the whole broken _ [Bm] [A]-hearted host, _
Gentle [E] this soul, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] then lay your rose [E] on the fire,
_ _ _ The [D] fire give up to [A] the sun, _ _ _ The sun give over [E] to _ splendor,
_ [D] In the arms of [F#m] the high [G#] [A] holy _ one, _ For the holy one dreams of a [E] letter,
_ _ _ _ [D] Ah, dreams of a _ [A] letter's death. _ _ _ _
Bless the _ continuous [E] _
stutter, _ Of [D] the word being [A] made [G#] [A] into flesh.
_ _ O [E] chosen love, now _ frozen _ love, [Bm] O tangle [D] of [A] matter and ghost,
_ [E] O _ darling of angels, _ demons and saints, And [D] the whole broken [F#m] [E]-hearted [A] _
host,
_ Gentle [E] this soul, _ _ _
[D] _ _ gentle [A] _ _
[E] _ this [A] _ _
soul. _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] chosen love, _ now frozen love, _ [D] O tangle of [F#m] matter [Bm] [A] and ghost,
_ _ [E] O darling of angels, _ demons and saints, [D] And the whole broken [Bm] _ [A]-hearted host,
_ _ [E] [F#m] Gentle [E] this soul, _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [A] gentle [C#m] _
_ [E] _ this [A] _
soul.
