[Intro]
G Em7 Bm/D
[Verse 1]
G Coal-black virgin spinning Above an open ocean Em7 Bm/D I hear, I feel, I need, I know G Seven sailors swimming, shipwrecked Seven smudgy mirrors Em7 Bm/D You gotta let 'em go Am7 Well I checked out the royal place C G Gmaj7 Saw the babies all bathed in champagne Am7 C So many miles of dirt I traveled G Gmaj7 Just to park here in your shade
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Em7 C C/B C/A C/G Borne away on a wave of love Am7 C Borne away on a wave
[Interlude]
G Em7 Bm/D x2
[Verse 2]
G Well they picked poor Robin clean In the shadow ravine Em7 Bm/D I seen the bones, I seen his teeth G Well, it's scrawled upon the streets Our enemy's victory's complete Em7 Bm/D And they'll be coming to collect within the next few hundred weeks Am7 C I get a little soft shiver in my shoulder G Gmaj7 Cause I think there's someone watching Am7 C I get a little soft whistle in my ears now G Gmaj7 But I guess it's just time passing
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Em7 C C/B C/A C/G Borne away on a wave of love Am7 C Borne away on a wave
[Interlude]
G Em7 Bm/D x2
[Verse 3]
G Blessed blue-black virgin shifting In the ocean's rhythm Em7 Bm/D Partly living tissue, partly always hidden G Give me strength & vision Watch over the earth Em7 It's listing, lady, like it's almost broken Bm/D Are my eyes now closed or opened? Am7 C Our parents are fading out, fading out, fading out G Gmaj7 Into the fuzzy fuzz Am7 C "I can't", I gasp, I gasp and pant G Gmaj7 I can't get enough air into my lungs Am7 C I see the bald head of a vulture G Gmaj7 Come cresting up the stairs C Am7 Time holds me, greenish-brown G Gmaj7 And dying, in a studio somewhere
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Em7 C C/B C/A C/G Borne away on a wave of love Am7 C Borne away on a wave
[Outro]
G Em7 Bm/D
