RIP Billy Ruane
Capo 3
C Am F G
Am F C G
C Am
I knelt before The Sky awaiting Her reply,
F G
but she refused to pour herself all over me.
C
So I bowed my head in shame
Am
The Sea was, she was hugging my waist
F G
and mumbling words of encouragement that I would only forget.
Am F
And I wished for to unlearn, unlearn,
C G
unlearn the alphabet.
Am F
So as to make the sounds slide off my tongue
G C (once)
in the shape, in the form of the Ancient Sun! ….
C Am
My song would make the earth a little warmer
F G
and I would hope it would make it a little brighter.
C (once)
And my song would go, it’d go: ladida da da.
Am F G
Ladida oh oh oh oh oh. Lada di da da da di da
C
And I laid myself on down
Am F G (once)
and i drifted out out towards the center, towards The Lighthouse.
C Am
And I thought in only pictures in my head,
F G
reverse every image to make it majestic.
C Am F
And I began to sink into the deep, the deep Caress.
G
The heavy depth. The Honey Swell, The Honey Swell
Am F
and I, I wished for to become a beluga whale
C G
to be that song that someone sings to the one they love
C
to send them off to sleep.
Am
To send them off to sleep.
F G
That one song that someone sings to the one they love the most.
Am
Oh oh oh oh oh oh sleep
F C
Drifting off to sleep Drifting off to sleep
G
Drifting out to sea.
Am
Oh oh oh oh sea.
F
Drifting out to sea,
C G
drifting out to see, oh do you still want me?
Am
Oh Billy, See?
F
Oh Billy, don’t you see?
C G
how I long to sing you to sleep.
C
with a little bit of baby beluga in the deep blue sea,
Am
you swim so wild you swim so free
F G
the heavens above and the sea below
Am
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
