Bright Blue Rose Chords & Lyrics - Christy Moore

[G]I skimmed across black water [C]without once submerging, [G]onto the banks of an urban [D]morning [D7]
That [G]hungers the first light, [C]much much more than, the m[G]ountains e[D]ver [G]do.
And [G]she like a ghost beside me [C]goes down with the ease of a dolphin,
[G]And emerges unl[D]earned, unshamed, unha[D7]rmed.
For [G]she is perfect creature, [C]natural in every feature
And [G]I am the [Em]geek with the a[D]lchemists' s[G]tone.

[CHORUS]
[C]For all of y[D]ou who must disc-[G]o-[Em]ver,?[C] ??…. for all w[D]ho seek to und[G]erst[G7]and,
[C]For having [D]left the path of [G]o-o-t[Em]hers,?[F] ??. you'll find [C]a very special[D] hand.[D7]

And [G]it is a holy thing, and [C]it is a precious time, and [G]it is the o-o-only w[D]ay.
Forg[G]et-me-nots among the snow, it's a[C]lways been and so it goes, to [G]ponder his [Em]death,
[D]and his life eternal[G]ly.

Instrumental: G ,C, G, D, G, C, G, Em, D, G

One b[G]right blue rose outlives all those, two [C]thousand years and still it goes,
To po[G]nder his [Em]death and his [D]life etern[G]ally.
