Verse 1:







G                   C                  C
Running my hands on twine for chord,
G

a timorous glance from mine to yours.
G
"Make me a melody"
C
I muttered mousily.

G


G                     C
Speak your prose with none to please.
G
Weigh your elbows on my knees.
G                 C
As uttered several times before
G
"Rhyme with your truth, ne'er to foreswore".

G              C
To be drawn to you is a kindness,
G
steadily strumming, just to remind us.
G             C
Give me a word!
         G
"Hearken!"    Perfect!

Chorus:

G
Hearken
C             G
hearken for a while.

G
Hearken
C             G
hearken for a while.

         Em             C
We could sway above the meadows,
G
as our riddles rest beneath.
G                   C
As our verses hide away
         G
we could say "Let it be".

Verse 2:

G                    C
Does your heart, too, whistle a wonder?
G
If the past is wed with the future,
G            C
Is the now a chance or a passage
G
only to be walked upon?

G               C
And if that is what they are after,
G
solely to foretell or to remember.
G               C
It is us who are left above bedding,
G
borrowing breaths, bothered not by an ending.

G
La da dada
C
La da dada
G
Ladada dada

Pre-Chorus:

   C
Forget your voice,
   G
Forget your mind.
    G               C
For when they find a way to wander
G
we will let it all

Chorus:

G
hearken!
C              G
Hearken, for a while.

G
hearken!
C              G
Hearken, for a while.

Em                      C
We could sway above the meadows,
G
as our riddles rest beneath.
G              C
I will listen! I will listen.
G
I will let it be! I will-


Bridge:

Em         C

G        C           G
Hearken, hearken, for a while!

G        Em              C
We could sway above the meadows,
       G
as our riddles rest beneath.
G                   C
As our verses hide away
         G
we could say "Let it be"
