Capo 2


Intro:
D MajorD

Verse 1:
      Am7Am7    D MajorD
Within the deep night sky
       Am7Am7   D MajorD
The stars lie in its embrace
       Am7Am7     D MajorD
The courtyard still in its sleep
      Am7Am7    D MajorD
Peace comes over your face

Verse 2:
     Am7Am7   D MajorD
"Come to me," it sings
     Am7Am7     D MajorD
"Hear the pulse of the land
      Am7Am7   D MajorD
The ocean's rhythms pull
       Am7Am7     D MajorD
To hold your heart in its hand"

Verse 3:
A minorAm         D MajorD
When the wind blows strong
 C majorC         D MajorD
Across the cypress trees
  A minorAm           D MajorD
The nightbirds cease their song
      C majorC  D MajorD
So gathers memories

Verse 4:
        Am7Am7    D MajorD
Last night you spoke of a dream
       Am7Am7       D MajorD
Where forests stretched to the east
       Am7Am7   D MajorD
And each bird sang its song
     Am7Am7     D MajorD
A augmentedA unicorn joined in a feast

Verse 5:
  A minorAm     D MajorD
And in a corner stood
 C majorC      D MajorD
A augmentedA pomegranate tree
   A minorAm      D MajorD
With wild flowers there
     C majorC     D MajorD
No mortal eye could see

Verse 6:
        Am7Am7    D MajorD
Yet still some mystery befalls
      Am7Am7      D MajorD
Sure as the cock crows at morn
       Am7Am7    D MajorD
The world in stillness keeps
       Am7Am7     D MajorD
The secret of babes to be born

Verse 7:
A minorAm       D MajorD
Come to me, my love
C majorC           D MajorD
Hear the pulse of the land
  A minorAm       D MajorD
The ocean's rhythms pull
       C majorC      D MajorD
To hold your heart in its hand

Verse 8:
      Am7Am7    D MajorD
I heard an old voice say
     Am7Am7     D MajorD
"Don't go far from the land
      Am7Am7    D MajorD
The seasons have their way
     Am7Am7   D MajorD
No mortal can understand"
