Gordon Bok – Mourning Dove (Guitar)

         G               C
I have a house, I have a home

         G                       C      G
I have a place where wildflowers grow

                                       C
I have some trees, where squirrels can nest

             G                    C
And mourning doves can take their rest

         G             C
I have a dog, I have a song

          G                    C    G
I have to let the mystery roll on

                    C
I am alive, I am in love

          G                 C      D   C   D
I want to tell the mourning dove

             C                G
But when she flew she did not sing

              C               D
The cold wind whistled on her wing

           G                      C
Oh, do not grieve, sweet mourning dove

             G                 C
Your sad old song is a song of love

       G              C
On the day when I was new

            G                 C
You held me once, no one held you

           G                 C
I think of you as a mourning dove

          G                C
That only flew on wings of love

           G                 C
I think of you as a mourning dove

          G                C      G   C
That only flew on wings of love
