written by Bob Lind Album Hey Little One 1968 Intro F Fmaj7 F Fmaj7 F Fmaj7 Verse 1

F              Fmaj7   Gm       C
You might wake up some morning.

        Gm                C   
To the sound of something moving 

            F           Fmaj7
past your window in the wind.

F              Gm             C
And if you're quick enough to rise

                 Gm
you'll catch the fleeting glimpse 

    C               F     Fmaj7
of someone's fading shadow.

Verse 2

F          Fmaj7 Gm     C         Gm
Out on the new   horizon, you may see

             C
the floating motions of a 

F               Fmaj7  F
distant pair of wings.

           Gm                   C
And if the sleep has left your ears

               Gm
you might hear footsteps running 

C                F      Fmaj7  F
through an open meadow.

Chorus 1

Fmaj7    Gm       C
Don't be concerned, 

            F        Fmaj7
it will not harm you.

          Gm           C
It's only me pursuing something 

    F           Fmaj7  
I'm not sure of.

          Gm     C               F      Fmaj7
Across my dreams,   with nets of wonder.

        Gm
I chase the bright elusive 

 C             F  Fmaj7  F  Fmaj7  F Fmaj7    
butterfly of love.

Verse 3

F              Fmaj7    Gm        C
You might have heard my footsteps. 

     Gm             C
Echo softly in the distance through 

    F               Fmaj7  F
the canyons of your mind.

             Gm               C
I might have even called your name

         Gm              C
as I ran searching after something 

   F          Fmaj7
to believe in.

Verse 4

F              Fmaj7   Gm     C
You might have seen me running. 

            Gm              C
Through the long abandoned ruins of 

    F                  Fmaj7  F
the dreams you left behind.

       Gm                  C
If you remember something there

            Gm
that glided past you followed 

C               F        Fmaj7  F  Fmaj7  
close by heavy breathing.

Chorus 2

         Gm        C
Don't be concerned, 

            F        Fmaj7
it will not harm you.

          Gm           C
It's only me pursuing something 

         F      Fmaj7
I'm not sure of.

          Gm     C              F      Fmaj7
Across my dreams,  with nets of wonder.

I chase the bright elusive
