Gordon Lightfoot – Approaching Lavender (Guitar)

C                Cmaj7          C7               F
If you'd like to spend the afternoon approaching lavender

       Fm                 C
You'll feel just fine but one thing's sure

                    Gadd11
You'll never be the same

C                Cmaj7            C7            F
If you'd like to try your hand at understanding lavender

Fm               C
Then you must be very sure

                   Gadd11
That life is not a game

C              Cmaj7            C7              F
You might even learn a thing or two approaching lavender

       Fm           C
You'll soon be on a one night tour

                    Gadd11
Forgetting your own name

C                Cmaj7          C7            F
You won't need a reason just to be alone with lavender

Fm               C
For the light so warm and pure

                     Gadd11
Will draw you like a flame

    C              Cmaj7                C7               F
The colors that surround you there will be the shade of lavender

Fm              C
Shadows dancing everywhere

                    Gadd11
Like flowers in the rain

C                  Cmaj7                  C7            F
You will find your tongue's on fire while lying next to lavender

         Fm              C
With the words you never spoke before

                      Gadd11
And could not speak again

C         Cmaj7     C7             F
Oh sweet lavender I understand you perfectly

      Fm             C
There is no way that I can see you

              Gadd11
Living by yourself

C         Cmaj7     C7               F
Oh sweet lavendar I must be with you constantly

     Fm                C
Your presence means so much to me

                      Gadd11
Much more that life itself

C         Cmaj7       C7             F
Oh sweet lavender as fragrant as the name you bear

       Fm             C
Please cast away the clothes you wear

                      Gadd11
And give your love to me

C         Cmaj7        C7                F
Oh sweet lavender your smile is like the golden sun

    Fm              C
I'd love to see you laugh and run

                Gadd11
As naked as the sea

C                Cmaj7          C7               F
If you'd like to spend the afternoon approaching lavender

      Fm              C
Don't try and get the best of her

                       Gadd11
She will not share the blame

C                Cmaj7            C7             F
If you'd like to try your hand at understanding lavender

Fm               C
Then you must be very sure

                   Gadd11
That life is not a game

            Gadd11
There is no shame
