Prothalamium Chords & Lyrics - Judy Collins

CAPO: 3rd Fret

[INTRO]
[Am]

[VERSE 1]
Come, all of you who are not [D]satis[Am]fied
As rulers in a [E]lone wall[F]papered [G]room
Full of mute birds and [Am]flowers that falsely [Em]bloom
And [Am]closets choked with dreams that [D]long ago [Am]died

[VERSE 2]
[C]Come, let us sweep the old streets [Dm]like a [C]bride
Sweep [F]out the dead [C]leaves with a re[Dm]lentless [Am]broom
[C]Prepare for spring as if he were our [G]groom
For [Am]whose light foot[C]step eager[D]ly we [Am]bide [D]

[VERSE 3]
We'll sweep out the shadows, where the [G]rats long [D]fed
Sweep out our shame and in its [Em]place [G]we'll [Am]make
A [D]bower for love, a splendid [G]marriage [D]bed
Fragrant with [Am]flow[D]ers, a-[Am]quiver [G]for the [Am]spring

[VERSE 4]
And when he comes, our murdered [G]dreams shall [C]wake
And when he comes, all the mute [F]birds shall [G]sing
And [C]when he [G]comes, [Am]all the mute [D]birds shall [Am]sing
