White Birds

Em  C  G  D  (2x)

[Verse 1]
  Em            C          G  D
I would that we were, my beloved
      Em           C           G  D
White birds on the foam of the sea__
   Em          C          G   D
We tire of the flame of a meteor
  A           G        D
Before it can fade and flee


[Verse 2]
        C     G  Am  G           
And the flame of the blue star of
 D  Em
 twilight
     C          G          D
Hung low on the rim of the sky
     C            G            D  Em
Has awaked in our hearts, my beloved
  C  G             D
A sadness that may not die

  Em        C              
A weariness comes from those 
  G    D
dreamers
    Em           C        G  D
Dew-dabbled, the lily and rose__
    Em           C          G  D
Ah, dream not of that, my beloved
         A            G           
Burn the flame of the meteor that 
D
goes


[Verse 4]
       C     G  Am  G            
Or the flame of the blue star 
  D   Em
that lingers
     C          G           D
Hung low in the fall of the dew
      C             G             
For I would we were changed To 
   D                      Em
white birds on the wandering foam

C  G      D

[Verse 5]
     Em         C          G D
I am haunted by numberless islands
    Em     C      G  D
And many a Danaan shore
     Em         C         G   D
When time would surely forget us
    A           G          D
And sorrow come near us no more


[Verse 6]
     C   G    Am  G        
Soon far from the rose and the 
    D  Em
lily__
     C            G               D
And afraid of the flames would we be
        C          G           D  Em
Were we only white birds, my beloved
      C          G           D
Right out of the foam of the sea
        C          G           D  Em
Were we only white birds, my beloved
      C          G           D
Right out of the foam of the sea
