Tone: [Dbm]
Intro -x4-:
[Dbm] [A] [E]
Verse 1:
[Dbm]Running my hands on [A]twine for chord,
a [E]timorous glance from mine to yours
[Dbm]"Make me a melody," [A]I muttered mousily[E]mousily
[Dbm]Speak your prose with [A]none to please,
[E]weigh your elbows on my knees
[Dbm]As uttered several [A]times before:
[E]"Rhyme with your truth, ne'er to foreswore."
Pre-Chorus:
[Dbm] To be drawn to [A]you is a kindness[E]kindness,
[E]steadily strumming just to remind us
Spoken:
[Dbm] Give me a word![A]word! [E]
[E]...perfect!
Chorus:
[Dbm]Hearken, [A]hearken for a[E]a while,
[Dbm]Hearken, [A]hearken for a [E]while
We could [Dbm]sway above the [A]meadows
as our [E]riddles rest beneath,
As our [Dbm]Verses hide [A]away,
we could [E]say, "Let it be."
Verse 2:
[Dbm] Does your heart, too, [A]whistle a wonder?[E]wonder?
[E]If the past is wed with the future[Dbm]future,
[Dbm]is the now a [A]chance or a passage
[E]only to be walked upon?
[Dbm] And if that is [A]what they are after,
[E]solely to foretell or to remember[Dbm]remember,
[Dbm]it is us who are [A]left above bedding,
[E]borrowing breaths, bothered not by an ending
[Dbm]Pa, la, la, la,
[A]Pa, la, la, la,
[E]Pa, la, la, la, la, la...
Bridge:
For[Dbm]Forget your [A]voice,
for[E]forget your mind
For [Dbm]when they find a [A]way to wander,
[E]we will let it all
Chorus:
[Dbm]Hearken, [A]hearken for a[E]a while,
[Dbm]Hearken, [A]hearken for a [E]while
We could [Dbm]sway above the [A]meadows
as our [E]riddles rest beneath,
[Dbm]I will listen, [A]I will listen,
[E]I will let it be
-nc-:
I will-
[Dbm]Pa, la, la, la,
[A]Pa, la, la, la,
[E]Pa, la, la, la...-2x-
[Dbm]Pa, la, la, la, la, [A]la,
[A]La, la, la, [E]la
[E]La, la, la, la...
Chorus:
[Dbm]Hearken, [A]hearken,
[E]Hearken, hearken,
[Dbm]Hearken, [A]hearken for a [E]while
We could [Dbm]sway above the [A]meadows
as our [E]riddles rest beneath,
As our [Dbm]Verses hide [A]away,
we could [E]say, "Let it be..."
