June Tabor - Unicorns
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO:   Am    Dm(4x)  Am  
We were travelling north to Dmsing and play
For Gfriends that we had Amnever met
Been working hard, we Dmdidn't speak
GSkies of grey Amthreatened wet
And I Cdreamed I saw GunicornsDm  
Dreamed I saw them Amwild and whiteC  
Their restless beauty Glit the world
LDmike a star will light a Amwinter's nightAm7  
APure as love with Dmanes of Amilk
They danced and pranced and Dcried aloudA  
Bright as rainbows Dround the Astars
Their Ceyes were Gsoft and Dsad and AproudA7  Am7  
And I Amwept for the wild and Dmdirty world
To Gwhich this beauty Amnow was lost
And cursed the hungry Dmmind of man
That Gfeeds the future Amat such costC  
My head was bowed, my Geyes were closedDm  
In my ears their Amvoices rangC  
These few words lodged Gdeep insideDm  
In my very Amsoul they sangAm7  
"AWe never Dwent aAway
You always knew that Dwe were EnearA  
Remember how to Dlook for AusC  
You'll Gfind we were Dalways Ahere"A7  Am7  
INSTRUMENTAL:   Am    Dm    G      Am    Dm    G    Am    C    G    Dm    Am    C    G    Dm   Am  Am7  
              A  D  A    D  E  A  D  A  C  G  D  A
I raised my Ameyes to seek them Dmout
But the Gworld was empty Amall around
The rain came tumbling Dmfrom the sky
It Gdrowned all dreams uAmpon the groundC  
And they asked me Gwhy I wept
Like Dmone who for his Amdead love mournsC  
The only answer GI could give
I Dmdreamed that there were AmunicornsAm7  A7  
"AWe never Dwent aAway
You always knew that Dwe were EnearA  
Remember how to Dlook for AusC  
You'll Gfind we were Dalways AhereC  
You'll Gfind we were Dalways Ahere"

June Tabor - Unicorns

CAPO: 3rd Fret

Am Dm Am

INTRO: (4x)

We were travelling north to sing and play

G Am

For friends that we had never met

Been working hard, we didn't speak

G Am

Skies of grey threatened wet

C G Dm

And I dreamed I saw unicorns

Am C

Dreamed I saw them wild and white

Their restless beauty lit the world

Dm Am Am7

Like a star will light a winter's night

A D A

Pure as love with manes of milk

D A

They danced and pranced and cried aloud

D A

Bright as rainbows round the stars

C G D A A7 Am7

Their eyes were soft and sad and proud

Am Dm

And I wept for the wild and dirty world

G Am

To which this beauty now was lost

And cursed the hungry mind of man

G Am C

That feeds the future at such cost

G Dm

My head was bowed, my eyes were closed

Am C

In my ears their voices rang

G Dm

These few words lodged deep inside

Am Am7

In my very soul they sang

A D A

"We never went away

D E A

You always knew that we were near

D A C

Remember how to look for us

G D A A7 Am7

You'll find we were always here"

Am Dm G Am Dm G Am C G Dm Am C G Dm Am Am7

INSTRUMENTAL:

A D A D E A D A C G D A

Am Dm

I raised my eyes to seek them out

G Am

But the world was empty all around

The rain came tumbling from the sky

G Am C

It drowned all dreams upon the ground

And they asked me why I wept

Dm Am C

Like one who for his dead love mourns

The only answer I could give

Dm Am Am7 A7

I dreamed that there were unicorns

A D A

"We never went away

D E A

You always knew that we were near

D A C

Remember how to look for us

G D A C

You'll find we were always here

G D A

You'll find we were always here"
