Dlady on the Amwater

lay your Cflowers at my Gdoor
Dlady on the Amwater
bring me brGanches, bring me twDine
wrap my hCeart upon the vGine
with your wEmine dCye my Gfeathers
                         D     AmRiff1
as the cock crows giving time
awake, mDy lady on thAme water
share my bGread and share my dDrink
pay no miCnd to what others Gthink
Dlady on the Amwater
with this Gwind and to Dflame
with your gCrapes and bottled Grain,
make your wiEmne oCf my Gworship
                       D   AmRiff1
a divinely strange refrain
or Gmake it rDain

my lDady on the wAmater
place your Gthumb upon my toDngue
be the sCong no one has sGung
Dlady on the Amwater
with your Gjacket blue and sDtrange
change these rivCers in my veGins
into wiEmne, lCearning, Gburning,
                      D     AmRiff1
driven deep into this maze
aGll of my daDys
Am G D C G

to countless desCerts, dreams, and Gjests

good and dead and gone to rest
thGat's the way that's the bDest
