 G

Verse 1:
C                Am
The image of the poet's in the breeze
Dm                 G
Canadian geese are flying above the trees
C                Am
A mist is hanging gently on the lake

My house is very beautiful at night

Verse 2:
C                 Am
My friend and teacher occupies a spare room
Dm                    G
He's dead, at peace at last the wandering Jew
C                Am
Other friends had put stones on his grave
Dm                     G
He was the first great man that I had ever met

Verse 3:
C               Am
Sylvia and I got out our Ouija Board
Dm                  G
To dial a spirit, across the room it soared
C                  Am
We were happy and amazed at what we saw
Dm                    G
Blazing stood the proud and regal name Delmore

C                   Am
Delmore, I missed all your funny ways
Dm                        G
I missed your jokes and the brilliant things you said
C                      Am
My Dedalus to your Bloom, was such a perfect wit
Dm                      G
And to find you in my house makes things perfect

Verse 5:

I've really got a lucky life
Dm                   G
My writing, my motorcycle and my wife
C                     Am
And to top it all off, a spirit of pure poetry
Dm                     G
Is living in this stone and wood house with me

Our house is very beautiful at night
