Intro:
[Fmaj7] [Ddim] [Em7] [Cdim] [F6] [G7] [C] [Cmaj7] [C7]
 
[Fmaj7] [Ddim] [Em7] [Cdim] [F6] [G7] [C]
 
Verse 1:
[Fmaj7]You never [Ddim]fail [Em7]my swallow[Cdim]swallowtail
[F6]Sitting so [G7]sweet in the [C]palm of [Cmaj7]my [C7]hand
To [Fmaj7]make me feel [Ddim]safe and [Em7]fill me with [Cdim]grace
[F6]wings as [G7]pale as the [C]sun on the [A7]sand
[Fmaj7]Merry and [Ddim]bright [Em7]my cabbage [Cdim]white
[F6]freshly steamed [G7]milk of the [C]moon[A7]moonlight
[Fmaj7]for you are the [Ddim]morning the [Em7]noon and the [Cdim]night
[F6] [G7] [C]
Verse 2:
[Fmaj7]Leaving so [Ddim]soon [Em7]my holly [Cdim]blue
[F6]Gently you [G7]flew to the [C]ends of [Cmaj7]the [C7]day
fleeting [Fmaj7]time passing [Ddim]through as [Em7]cold evening [Cdim]dew
a [F6]mellow [G7]reminder of [C]your once [A7]warm breath [F6]of rain [G7]
 
[C]la la la la [Cmaj7]la la la la [C7]la la la la [A7]la la la la
[F6]la la la la [F6]la la la la [Fm]la la
 
Verse 3:
[Fmaj7]Snail shell [Ddim]swirl [Em7]mother of [Cdim]pearl
[F6]locked like a [G7]curl 'round my [C]finger [Cmaj7]so [C7]tight
Though [Fmaj7]I love you [Ddim]so you're [Em7]losing your [Cdim]glow
[F6]why do you [G7]have to let [C]go [A7] but
[Fmaj7]We'll never [Ddim]be so [Em7]I'll set you [Cdim]free
[F6]up to the [G7]clouds [C]so hig[A7]high
For [Fmaj7]you are the [Ddim]earth and the [Em7]sea and the [Cdim]sky
 
And [Fmaj7]you were more [Ddim]beautiful when [Em7]you could [Cdim]fly
