Capo 6
[Intro] (x2)
Cadd9, Am7, Em/B, F/B
[Verse]
Cadd9 Am7 Em/B F/B
Farewell to you my love, I'm closing my eyes
Cadd9 Am7 C G7
you'll let go this cold cold hand in time
Cadd9 Am7 Em/B F/B
This chain around your neck must carry my stone
Cadd9 Am7 C G7
So I can feel your heart beat against my own
[Chorus]
A1 E7/B Am7/E Am7/F Am7/F# Am7/F
This veil will hide my voice from you and I'm not sure how I'll talk to you
A1 Am7
but know while you lie sleeping
C
I'll be speaking my truths
[Verse]
C G C Am7/F
Be near me always I don't know where I'll go
C G C C/F
but I will tell you my stories
C G C Am7/F
On this ocean I'm rolling a wave away from you
C G C
but we will roll into each other some day
C/F C/G C
For a ripple on the water I'll pray
[Instrumental] (x2)
Cadd9, Am7, Em/B, F/B
[Verse]
Cadd9 Am7 Em/B F/B
You will lose my face even closing your eyes
Cadd9 Am7 C G7
I have gone from skin to earth to tree against the sky
Cadd9 Am7 Em/B F/B
The storms may harm our blossom we call for the sun
Cadd9 Am7 C G7
and though the rain still pours we know she'll come in good time
[Chorus]
A1 E7/B Am7/E Am7/F Am7/F# Am7/F
Oh silver lining you are hard to see when her face it fades away from me
A1 Am7 C
but I know while she lies sleeping we are dreaming the same dreams
[Verse]
C G C Am7/F
For she is near me always telling me where to go
C G C C/F
she listens to my stories
C G C Am7/F
She has this funny notion that tears the tears from me
C G C
but I will dry her pretty eyes one day
Am7/F Am7/G Am7 Am7/B
For a ripple on the water I'll pray
Am7/F Am7/G E7 Am7
And I know that I will find her by the tremors left behind her
Am7/F G Cadd9
for with each ripple on the water she prays
[Outro]
Cadd9, Am7, Em/B, F/B
