[INTRO]
D C G D C G
[VERSE 1]
D If I could sing like the poets and kings of this world G If I could rise like the wind o'er the tides of the sea A7 D G I would sing you to sleep my love with sweet melody A7 D G And let you dream away till the morning light returned again A D C G D To take you away from me
[VERSE 2]
D If I could speak with the tongues of the masters of old G If I could tame all the fleeting perceptions I hold A7 D G Would I stand in the marketplace before you A7 D G To be shouted down without any warning at all, to be stood by the wall A D C G D C G And shot by the man in blue
[VERSE 3]
D If I could run with the grace of a sun coloured stallion G If I could fly like the great silver jets in the morning A7 D G If I caused the wind to change with one wave of my hand A7 D G And if I could play the final symphony and set it free A D C G D C G Would it mean anything to you
[VERSE 4]
D If I could stand like the rusty old man in his armour G If I could ride the steed that he rode in his time A7 D G I would turn his head away to the river A7 D G And let him wander through the meadow grass, wild and free A D C G D C G For everyone to see
[VERSE 5]
D If I could sing like the poets and kings of this world G If I could rise like the wind o'er the tides of the sea A7 D G I would sing you to sleep my love with sweet melody A7 D G And let you dream away till the morning light returned again A To take you away from me
