Bright Blue Rose chords by Christy Moore

G              C            G             D    D7
I skimmed across black water without once submerging, onto the banks of an urban morning.
   G            C             G       D
That hungers the first light, much much more than, the mountains ever do.
  G             C
And she like a ghost beside me goes down with the ease of a dolphin,
G       D           D7
And emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed.
  G            C
For she is perfect creature, natural in every feature
  G    Em       D      G
And I am the geek with the alchemists' stone.


Chorus
C      D        G Em     C           D
For all of you who must disc-o-ver,??. for all who seek to understand,
C     D        G Em   F        C       D   D7
For having left the path of o-o-thers,?. you'll find a very special hand.

  G            C             G          D
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time, and it is the o-o-only way.
  G                C                G     Em       D     G
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes, to ponder his death, and his life eternally.


Chorus

  G            C             G          D
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time, and it is the o-o-only way.
  G                C                G     Em       D     G
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes, to ponder his death, and his life eternally


Instrumental: G ,C, G, D,  G, C, G, Em, D, G


   G                    C
One bright blue rose outlives all those, two thousand years and still it goes,
   G    Em      D      G
To ponder his death and his life eternally.
