Em7
Guinnevere had green eyes

Em7                            Gm7
Like yours, m'lady, like yours

Gm7
She'd walk down through the garden

       Dm7              Em7
In the morning after it rained

Gm7
Peacocks wandered aimlessly

                       Em7
Underneath an orange tree

Em7
Why can't she see me?

[Verse 2]

Em7                          
Guinnevere drew pentagrams

Em7                            Gm7  
Like yours, m'lady, like yours

Gm7                             
Late at night when she thought

        Dm7              Em7        
That no one was watching at all

            Dm7 Gm7  Em7
On the wall

Em7           Em7/G   N.C. Bm7      
She shall be free

[Bridge]

Bm7                     
As she turns her gaze

Am7                      Bm7          Em7        
Down the slope to the harbor where I lay

Em7                  
Anchored for a day

[Verse 3]

Em7                          
Guinnevere had golden hair

Em7                             Gm7   
Like yours, m'lady, like yours

Gm7                            
Streaming out when we'd ride

            Dm7               Em7          
Through the warm wind down by the bay

Em7         
Yesterday

[Chorus]

Gm7                         
Seagulls circle endlessly

                       Em/B 
I sing in silent harmony

         Em7       
We shall be free

[Outro] Em7 Bm7 Em7 Bm7 Am7 Em7
