G G C G
VERSE
G
Dancing on the feet of a miracle
C G
While winter's growing cold
Life seems almost cynical
C G
In the gardens of green and gold
While the apples of Eden are calling me
C G
I sometimes just can't believe
That man was made a replica
C G
Of someone else's dream
PRECHORUS
C D G
Away to where the rainbow's just a stoney throw away
C D G
Where kings and queens assemble, just to greet the world and say:
C D Em A
Bear witness to the princess as she lights her precious dome,
C D
and bluebells call you home
CHORUS
G C G
Home, home, bluebells calling home
G C
Home, home, bluebells calling
VERSE
G
Home to all the broken melodies
C G
Is a home for all the sunny skies
To rhyme without a reason endlessly
C G
Just look at how the butter flies
When the evensong sings through the mezzanine
C G
And the birds interrupt the trees
They were talking in the forest hatching up a scheme
C G
When winter comes they'll up and leave
PRECHORUS
C D G
To find the swirling oceans made of conscience and of clay
C D G
The weight of all this nonsense we must carry down the way
C D Em A
Towards the great reunion of the apple and the crow
C D
Come on it's time to go
CHORUS
G C G
Home, home, bluebells calling home
G C G
Home, home, bluebells calling home
G C G
Home, home, bluebells calling home
G C G
Home, home, bluebells calling home

BRIDGE
G C
Tell the tree of sunlight, tell the day of rain
G F Bb
Listen for the flutter, rising up again
G C
Better off without a suitcase is the mind
G F Bb
Grasping at a moon beam, counting out the time
G C
I was only eight when magic touched my ear
G F Bb
Now it seems the only thing I hear
G C
Is the everlasting chorus of a neverlasting dream
G F Bb
Locked inside my fantasy

C D

D Gm
So listen up campers along with the rain
C G D
The promise of sunshine again
Gm
With all that is pretty and all that is blue
C G D
The bluebell shines for you
Gm
Now somebody sold my blank endeavour
C G D
To the creatures that walk on the moon
Gm
In time you'll see the world at the speed of light
C G D
As we all set stones in bloom

A CAPELLA
Dancing on the feet of a miracle
while winter's growing cold
Life seems to be almost cynical
in gardens of green and gold
Dancing on the feet of a miracle
while winter's growing cold
Life seems to be almost cynical
in gardens of green and gold
The light has come to free this song of anything that goes
The featherless magician shakes his head and tells us slow
The poet down on main street can't believe his sunken eyes
D
A calling from the skies!
G C D
G C D
VERSE
G
I've never seen a brighter sun
C D
Than the one the crow incorporated
G
Into his painted rivers three
C Bm/G G
As the apple reunites the broken melody
G
Blue is my direction home
C D
Into a world where every ghostly figure
G
Flutter round the cosmic tare
C D
As we're dancing on the feet of miracles every-
CHORUS
G C D G
Where do flowers go, when all is said and done
C D G
They hope and pray, to find a second sun
C D G
With golden shores, and amber painted skies
C D
Where poets run, and bluebells call home...
G C D
G C D
VERSE
G
I've never seen a better day
C D
Than the one that drove the clouds away
G
Forever from this holy earth
C D G
And the bluebells simple words just resting in the dirt
G
And finally it seems to me
C D
this has got to be the place indeed
G
I'm just sitting in the gardens green
C D
watch the blue above and simply dream...
my dreamy dream
CHORUS
G C D G
Where do flowers go, when all is said and done
C D G
They hope and pray, to find a second sun
C D G
With golden shores, and amber painted skies
C D G
Where poets run, and bluebells, bluebells call home
