Bbsus4 111331 Bb9 113311 Bb 688766 C9 032030 [Intro] C F F7 Bbsus4 [Verse]
        Fm             C9
I am a poor wayfaring stranger

Fm        Cmaj7             Bb9
Traveling through all these highs and lows

                      F
I heard there was no sickness

Ab             Bb
And no toil or danger

               F
Just mercy and plenty

                      Fm
Where peaceful waters flow

                C9
Where peaceful waters flow
[Interlude] C F F7 Bbsus4 [Verse]
            Fm               C9
Come all you fair and tender school girls

Fm         Cmaj7          Bb9
Be careful now--when you court young men

                  F
They are like the stars

Ab          Bb
On a summer morning

                    F
They sparkle up the night

            Fm
And they're gone again

          C9
Daybreak--gone again
[Interlude] C F F7 Bbsus4 [Verse]
            Fm                              C9
If I'd only seen through the silky veils of ardor

Fm             Cmaj7       Bb9
What a killing crime this love can be

                           F
I would have locked up my heart

Ab                    Bb
In a golden sheath of armor

                   F
And kept its crazy beating

                Fm
Under strictest secrecy

        C9
High security
[Interlude] C F F7 Bbsus4 [Verse]
                 Fm
I wish I had the wings

                        C9
Of Noah's pretty little white dove

            Fm              Cmaj7
So I could fly this raging river

   Bb9
To reach the one I love

              F
But I have no wings

Ab                  Bb
And the water is so wide

                           F
We'll have to row a little harder

             Fm
It's just in dreams we fly

       C9
In my dreams we fly!
