Verse:
    F minorFm       C9C9
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
F minorFm    Cmaj7Cmaj7       Bb9Bb9
Traveling through all these highs and lows
           FF
I heard there was no sickness
AbAb       Bb majorBb
And no toil or danger
        FF
Just mercy and plenty
           F minorFm
Where peaceful waters flow
        C9C9
Where peaceful waters flow

Interlude:

Verse:
      F minorFm        C9C9
Come all you fair and tender school girls
F minorFm     Cmaj7Cmaj7     Bb9Bb9
Be careful now--when you court young men
         FF
They are like the stars
AbAb     Bb majorBb
On a summer morning
          FF
They sparkle up the night
      F minorFm
And they're gone again
     C9C9
Daybreak--gone again

Interlude:
C majorC   FF
F7F7  Bbsus4Bbsus4


Verse:
      F minorFm               C9C9
If I'd only seen through the silky veils of ardor
F minorFm       Cmaj7Cmaj7    Bb9Bb9
What a killing crime this love can be
              FF
I would have locked up my heart
AbAb          Bb majorBb
In a golden sheath of armor
          FF
And kept its crazy beating
        F minorFm
Under strictest secrecy
    C9C9
High security

Interlude:
C majorC   FF
F7F7  Bbsus4Bbsus4


Verse:
         F minorFm
I wish I had the wings
            C9C9
Of Noah's pretty little white dove
      F minorFm       Cmaj7Cmaj7
So I could fly this raging river
  Bb9Bb9
To reach the one I love
       FF
But I have no wings
AbAb         Bb majorBb
And the water is so wide
              FF
We'll have to row a little harder
       F minorFm
It's just in dreams we fly
    C9C9
In my dreams we fly!
