Chords with lyrics
Houses Judy Collins
G+G C9C9 D MajorD
You have many houses, one for every season
G+G C9C9 D MajorD
Mountains in your windows, violets in your hand
E minor 7Em7 C9C9 D MajorD
Through your English meadows your blue-eyed horses wander
C9C9 D MajorD
You're in Colorado for the spring
G+G C9C9 D MajorD
When the winter finds you, you fly to where it's summer
G+G C9C9 D MajorD
Rooms that face the ocean, moonlight on your bed
E minor 7Em7 C9C9 D MajorD
Mermaids swift as dolphins paint the air with diamonds
C9C9 D MajorD
You are like a seagull as you said
C majorC G+G
Why do you fly bright feathered sometimes in my dreams?
Bb majorBb C majorC
The shadows of your wings fall over my face
Bb majorBb C majorC
I can feel no air, I can find no peace
Bb majorBb C majorC
Brides in black ribbons, witches in white
Bb majorBb C majorC G+G
Fly in through windows, fly out through the night
C majorC G+G
Why do I think I'm dying sometimes in my dreams
Bb majorBb C majorC
I see myself a child running through the trees
Bb majorBb C majorC
Searching for myself, looking for my life
Bb majorBb C majorC
Looking everywhere crawling on my knees
Bb majorBb C majorC g
I cannot see the leaves, I cannot see the light
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
Then I see you walking just beyond the forest
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
Walking very quickly, walking by yourself
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
Your shoes are silver, your coat is made of velvet
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
Your eyes are shining, your voice is sweet and clear
C majorC D MajorD
"Come on", you say, "Come with me, I'm going to the castle"
C majorC D MajorD
All the bells are ringing, the weddings have begun
C majorC D MajorD
But I can only stand here, I cannot move to follow
C majorC C9C9 D MajorD
I'm burning in the shadows and freezing in the sun
G+G C9C9 D MajorD
There are people with you living in your houses
G+G C9C9 D MajorD
People from your childhood who remember how you were
E minor 7Em7 C9C9 D MajorD
You were always flying, nightingale of sorry
C9C9 D MajorD C majorC
Singing bird with rainbows on your wings
This one was a bear to work out sometimes the chords I intend don't show properly there should be no barre
