Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

 Em
Ooh Ooh Ooh

                     C                         D
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

 Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

         C                         D
And the days go by like a strand in the wind

           Em
In the web that is my own I begin again

 C                         D                     Em
Said to my friend, Baby, nothing else mattered

 C               D            Em
He was no more than a baby then

         C                         D
Well he seemed broken-hearted

                   Em
Something within him

            C                 D        Em
But the moment that I first laid eyes on him

                   C       D         Em
All alone on the edge of seventeen



                    C                         D
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

 Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

                    C                         D
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

 Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh



        C                  D                        Em
Well I went today maybe I will go again tomorrow

           C                      D                    Em
And the music there well it was hauntingly familiar

         C                       D
When I see you doin what I try to do for me

         Em
With the words from a poet and a voice from a choir

        C       D                    Em
And a melody, nothin else mattered



                    C                         D
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

 Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

                    C                         D
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

 Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh



          Em                D                 C             D           C
The clouds never expect it when it rains but the sea changes color

            D                   C            D
But the sea does not change

 Em                 D               C             D
So with the slow sad graceful glow of age

             C               D          C           D
I went forth with an age old desire to please

         C         D          C     D
On the edge of seventeen


Ooh............


                    C                         D
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

 Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

                    C                         D
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

 Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh



            C                   D                                   Em
Well then suddenly there was noone left standin in the hallway

                     C                  D                            Em
Yeah Yeah, in a flood of tears that noone really ever heard fall at all

                   C                               D
Well I went searchin for an answer up the stairs and down the hall

 Em                                                           C          D
Not to find an answer but just to hear the call of a nightbird

            Em
Singin come away, come away, come away



                    C                         D
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

 Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

                    C                         D
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

 Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh



        Em                     D            Em                D
Well I hear you in the mornin' and I hear you at nightfall

        Em                   D          Em        D              C   D           Em
And sometimes to be near you is to be unable to hear you my love

                   C            D           Em
Im a few years older than you my love


                    C                         D
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

 Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
