[Verse]

G C G D D7

I skimmed across black water without once submerging, onto the banks of an urban morning

G C G D G

That hungers the first light, much much more than, the mountains ever do.

G C

And she like a ghost beside me goes down with the ease of a dolphin,

G D D7

And emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed.

G C

For she is perfect creature, natural in every feature

G Em D G

And I am the geek with the alchemists' stone.

[Chorus]

Am D G Em Am D G G7

For all of you who must disc-o-ver,……. for all who seek to understand,

Am D G Em F C D D7

For having left the path of o-o-thers,…. you'll find a very special hand.

[Verse]

G C G D

And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time, and it is the o-o-only way.

G C G Em

Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes, to ponder his death,

D G

and his life eternally.

[Chorus]

G C G D

And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time, and it is the o-o-only way.

G C G Em

Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes, to ponder his death,

D G

and his life eternally.

[Instrumental]

G C G D G C G Em D G

[Outro]

G C

One bright blue rose outlives all those, two thousand years and still it goes,

G Em D G

To ponder his death and his life eternally.
