June Tabor - Unicorns


CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: A minorAm DmDm (4x) A minorAm

              DmDm
We were travelling north to sing and play
  G+G         A minorAm
For friends that we had never met
           DmDm
Been working hard, we didn't speak
G+G       A minorAm
Skies of grey threatened wet
   C majorC       G+G    DmDm
And I dreamed I saw unicorns
          A minorAm       C majorC
Dreamed I saw them wild and white
           G+G
Their restless beauty lit the world
 DmDm           A minorAm       Am7Am7
Like a star will light a winter's night

A augmentedA         D MajorD    A augmentedA
Pure as love with manes of milk
              D MajorD      A augmentedA
They danced and pranced and cried aloud
          D MajorD     A augmentedA
Bright as rainbows round the stars
   C majorC     G+G    D MajorD    A augmentedA   A7A7 Am7Am7
Their eyes were soft and sad and proud


   A minorAm          DmDm
And I wept for the wild and dirty world
  G+G         A minorAm
To which this beauty now was lost
           DmDm
And cursed the hungry mind of man
   G+G        A minorAm       C majorC
That feeds the future at such cost
           G+G        DmDm
My head was bowed, my eyes were closed
         A minorAm      C majorC
In my ears their voices rang
            G+G      DmDm
These few words lodged deep inside
      A minorAm       Am7Am7
In my very soul they sang

 A augmentedA    D MajorD   A augmentedA
"We never went away
           D MajorD    E MajorE   A augmentedA
You always knew that we were near
        D MajorD    A augmentedA  C majorC
Remember how to look for us
    G+G      D MajorD   A augmentedA  A7A7 Am7Am7
You'll find we were always here"


INSTRUMENTAL: A minorAm DmDm G+G A minorAm  DmDm G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G DmDm A minorAm C majorC G+G DmDm A minorAm Am7Am7
       A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA  D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA C majorC G+G D MajorD A augmentedA


      A minorAm        DmDm
I raised my eyes to seek them out
    G+G        A minorAm
But the world was empty all around
            DmDm
The rain came tumbling from the sky
  G+G          A minorAm       C majorC
It drowned all dreams upon the ground
         G+G
And they asked me why I wept
   DmDm       A minorAm        C majorC
Like one who for his dead love mourns
        G+G
The only answer I could give
 DmDm           A minorAm    Am7Am7 A7A7
I dreamed that there were unicorns


 A augmentedA    D MajorD   A augmentedA
"We never went away
           D MajorD    E MajorE   A augmentedA
You always knew that we were near
        D MajorD    A augmentedA  C majorC
Remember how to look for us
    G+G      D MajorD   A augmentedA   C majorC
You'll find we were always here
    G+G      D MajorD   A augmentedA
You'll find we were always here"
