Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Shining On The Water
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
Oh father, come to the window
F G C Look over yonder lake F G At the wondrous golden city C Beyond the icy wake
In my short life we've passed this way
F G C Ten times or more F G And never did this city C Rise up on that far shore
[Chorus]
Dm Am Dm7 F That's the Sun son, shining on the water G It's not Cairo, New York or Rome Dm Am F And just a matter of hours before you see your mama G C Waiting for you back at home
[Verse 2]
Big buildings at it's centre
F G C Stand ablaze with light F G While lesser spires around these C Entrap the beams in flight
Oh look now, I see people
F G C With faces small and fine F G And in their midst just staring C A boy's face like mine
[Chorus]
Dm Am Dm7 F That's the Sun son, shining on the water G It's not Cairo, New York or Rome Dm Am F And just a matter of hours before you see your mama G Waiting for you back at home
[Instrumental]
Dm Am F G Dm Am F G C
[Verse 3]
The Sun was shrinking 'cause night was falling
F G C And the boy went off to sleep F G His wondrous city vanished C Into the icy deep
The Moon was rising 'cause night had fallen
F G And all was as before C F G As we made our way past the countless pines C On the cold lake's northern shore
[Chorus]
Dm Am Dm7 F That's the Sun son, shining on the water G It's not Cairo, New York or Rome Dm Am F And just a matter of hours before you see your mama G Waiting for you back at home
[Chorus]
Dm Am Dm7 F That's the Sun son, shining on the water G It's not Cairo, New York or Rome Dm Am F And just a matter of hours before you see your mama G C Waiting for you back at home
