Loreena McKennitt - Courtyard Lullaby
Capo 2
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
Within the Am7deep night Dsky
The stars lie Am7in its emDbrace
The courtyard Am7still in its Dsleep
Peace comes Am7over your Dface
[Verse 2]
"Come to Am7me," it Dsings
"Hear the Am7pulse of the Dland
The ocean's Am7rhythms Dpull
To hold your Am7heart in its Dhand"
[Verse 3]
AmWhen the wind blows Dstrong
ACcross the cypress Dtrees
The Amnightbirds cease their Dsong
So gathers CmemoDries
[Verse 4]
Last night you Am7spoke of a Ddream
Where forests Am7stretched to the Deast
And each bird Am7sang its Dsong
A unicorn Am7joined in a Dfeast
[Verse 5]
And Amin a corner Dstood
A Cpomegranate Dtree
With Amwild flowers Dthere
No mortal Ceye could Dsee
[Verse 6]
Yet still some Am7mystery beDfalls
Sure as the Am7cock crows at Dmorn
The world in Am7stillness Dkeeps
The secret of Am7babes to be Dborn
[Verse 7]
AmCome to me, my Dlove
CHear the pulse of the Dland
The Amocean's rhythms Dpull
To hold your Cheart in its Dhand
[Verse 8]
I heard an Am7old voice Dsay
"Don't go Am7far from the Dland
The seasons Am7have their Dway
No mortal Am7can underDstand"
