                             "Message Of Our Love"
                        (Curt Boettcher - Tandyn Almer)

Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master
Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):

  Great poetic images, with unique harmonic structure, shows another side
  of our talented producer, Curt Boettcher.  One of our first attempts at
  double tracking vocals.


Intro:

	B/E/A [x02442]
	(Message of our love, they heed the message of our love, they heed...)

Verse 1:

	B/E/A           Emaj9
	Wind escorts the day outside
	B/E/A                  G#m7        C#9
	Clouds of sheep's wool lionize the moon
	   F#maj9           F#6     G#m9  C#9
	For soon the moment that we meet
	        F#maj9             F#6       G#m9  C#9
	Phantom trees that whisper down the street
	A#m7       D#m7      D#9
	Relay our message of love

Verse 2:

	Night, what mysteries will it bring
	Who can tell when Spring becomes of age
	One page of letters bound foretells
	Of the sorrow that your kiss dispels
	And holds our message of love

	Warm the soft breath of this pledge of ours
	       G#maj9           G#6       A#m9    D#9
	Bright stars that linger in their flight
	        G#maj9              G#6     A#m9    D#9
	Who will know the plans we share tonight
	Cm7          Fm7        F9
	Reflect our message of love

	* no, I don't know how to play it on one guitar either

	              Emaj9
	They heed the message
