Mary Black – Bright Blue Rose (Ukulele)

C                               F
I skimmed across black water, without once submerging

C                             G
Onto the banks of an urban morning

C                             F
That hungers the first light, much much more than the

C         G     C
mountains ever do.

C                               F
And she like a ghost beside me, goes down with the case

C            G
And emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed

C                            F
For she is perfect creature, natural in every feature

    C         Am            G             C
And I am the geek with the alchemists' stone.

F           G              C
For all of you who must discover,

F             G          C
For all who seek to understand,

F              G              C
For having left the path of others

Bb             F            G
You'll find a very special hand.

C                           F
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time

C                   G
And it is the only way

C                                     F
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so

C              Am             G       C
To ponder his death and his life eternally

C                            F
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time

C                   G
And it is the only way

C                                    F
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so

C              Am            G        C
To ponder his death and his life eternally

C
One bright blue rose outlives all those

F
Two thousand years and still it goes

    C           Am           G        C
To ponder his death and his life eternally
