[Verse]
CC#mome wander quietly and liAsten to the G#wind
CC#mome here and lAisten to the G#sky
CF#mome walking C#mhigh above the G#rolling of the sea
AnAd watch the swallows as theG#y fly
ThC#mere is no sorrow like the Amurmur of theiG#r wings
ThC#mere is no choiAr like their G#song
There F#mis no power C#mlike the freG#edom of their flight
AWhile the swallows roam alG#one
[Verse]
Do C#myou hear the calling of Aa hundred thousG#and voice
HeaC#mr the trumblinAg in the stoG#ne
Do you F#mhear the angC#mry bells ringG#ing in the night
ADo you hear the swallows when they've G#flown?
And C#mwill the breezes blow the Apetals from your G#hand
And wC#mill some lovinAg ease your G#pain
And F#mwill the silC#mence strike cG#onfusion from your soul
And wAill the swallows come agaiG#n?

[Verse]

C#m A G#

Come wander quietly and listen to the wind

C#m A G#

Come here and listen to the sky

F#m C#m G#

Come walking high above the rolling of the sea

A G#

And watch the swallows as they fly

C#m A G#

There is no sorrow like the murmur of their wings

C#m A G#

There is no choir like their song

F#m C#m G#

There is no power like the freedom of their flight

A G#

While the swallows roam alone

[Verse]

C#m A G#

Do you hear the calling of a hundred thousand voice

C#m A G#

Hear the trumbling in the stone

F#m C#m G#

Do you hear the angry bells ringing in the night

A G#

Do you hear the swallows when they've flown?

C#m A G#

And will the breezes blow the petals from your hand

C#m A G#

And will some loving ease your pain

F#m C#m G#

And will the silence strike confusion from your soul

A G#

And will the swallows come again?
