Chords

As recorded by Joan Baez (From the 1971 Album BLESSED ARE...) [Intro] C [Verse 1]
C
The grey quiet horse wears the reins of dawn

    G                 C
And nobody knows what mountain he's from

C
In his mouth he carries the golden key

    F      Em           Dm          G7
And nobody sees him but Gabriel and me

            C
Gabriel and me
[Verse 2]
C
His nose is silver and his mane is white

    G        G7        C
His eyes are black and starry like night

C
So softly he splashes his hoofs in the sea

     F      Em            Dm          G7
That nobody hears him but Gabriel and me

            C
Gabriel and me
[Verse 3]
C
He comes in the morning when the air is still

   G                    C           
He races the sun and he always will

C                                                 
We raise up the window and call through the trees

        F           Em        Dm          G7                  
Oh we'd love to fly with you, Gabriel and me

            C   
Gabriel and me
[Verse 4]
C                                               
For your back is wingless and there's room for two

      G                     C                         
We'll mount from a tree and ride straight on through

C                                                
But I guess you're wiser than I thought you'd be

        F          Em        Dm          G                 
For you never will listen to Gabriel and me

            C  
Gabriel and me
[Verse 5]
C                                            
For you know that one day we'll forget to wake

G                C             
Call it destiny, call it fate

C                                       
You'll nuzzle us softly and so silently

      F           Em       Dm          G               
We'll ride in the morning, Gabriel and me

Dm              G     
With the golden key

Dm          G    
Gabriel and me

               C   
Forever to the sea
