Red Molly - Oh My Michael
VERSE :
C G F C
When I was younger I prayed to the sea
F C G Am
to bring my fisherman further to me
C G F C
If I were an angel I´d fly out to him
F C G C
and like a fisherman bring him back in
VERSE:
C G F C
When I was older I sang to the wind
F C G Am
to find me a lover and send his boat in
C G F C
if I were a sirene I´d call him a-shore
F C G C
and on the rocks I´d be lonely no more
CHORUS:
G C
Oh my Michael - oh my love
F C G
won’t you sing me a song of the sea
Am G Am F
a true lover´s not on your finger so fair
C G C
sing a song of your love for me
VERSE:
C G F C
Now that we are married I dream of the days
F C G Am
We´ll run in the fields and we´ll swim in the waves
C G F C
If I were a sear I´d know it for sure
F C G C
if you would always come right back to the shore
CHORUS:
G C
Oh my Michael - oh my love
F C G
won’t you sing me a song of the sea
Am G Am F
a true lover´s not on your finger so fair
C G C
sing a song of your love for me
VERSE :
C G F C
This is a prayer and a song and a dream
F C G Am
Woven in gold like a young sailors ring
C G F C
if I was a jeweler I´d weave it so fine
F C G C
and there´d be no space between your heart and mine
CHORUS:
G C
Oh my Michael - oh my love
F C G
won’t you sing me a song of the sea
Am G Am F
a true lover´s not on your finger so fair
C G Am
sing a song of your love for me
C G C
sing a song of your love for me
Hope you enjoy playing this beautiful song.
Fingerpicking it is the best option in my opinion
but strumming works as well :-)
The text is pretty accurate but there might be a slip or two
as i had to listen to it from the album - any corrections are welcome ;-)
