White Birds chords

Capo II (Sounding D major)

[VERSE]
I [C]would that we were, my be[Em]loved
White [F]birds on the foam of the sea
[G]Far from the rose and the [Am]lily
And the [F]fret of the [G]flames would we [C]be

[CHORUS]
And the [C]flame of the blue star of [Em]twilight
Hung [F]low on the rim of the sky
Has a[G]wakened in our hearts, my be[Am]loved
A [F]sadness that [G]may never [C]die
A [F]sadness that [G]may never [C]die

A [C]weariness comes from those [Em]dreamers
Dew-[F]dabbled, the lily and rose
Ah, [G]dream not of that, my be[Am]loved
The [F]flame of the [G]meteor that [C]goes

Or the [C]flame of the blue star that [Em]lingers
Hung [F]low in the fall of the dew
For I [G]would we were changed, my be[Am]loved
To [F]white birds on the [G]foam, I and [C]you
To [F]white birds on the [G]foam, I and [C]you

[BRIDGE]
[Em]Bend low, that I may crown you
[Em]Flower of the branch
[Am]Silver fish my hands have taken
[Am]From the running stream
[F]Morning star, trembling in the heavens
Like a white fawn on the border of a [G]wood
[G]Bend that I may crown you
[G]That I may crown you

[CHORUS]
And the [C]flame of the blue star of [Em]twilight
Hung [F]low on the rim of the sky
Has a[G]wakened in our hearts, my be[Am]loved
A [F]sadness that [G]may never [C]die
A [F]sadness that [G]may never [C]die

Soon [C]far from the rose and the [Em]lily
And [F]fret of the flames would we be
Were we [G]only white birds, my be[Am]loved
White [F]birds on the [G]foam of the [C]sea
White [F]birds on the [G]foam of the [C]sea
