I leant out my copy of Mirror Blue, so this is pretty much guaranteed
to be inaccurate. Still I think it gives a feel for the style and
could be useful in conjunction with the recording on the album Mirror
Blue.
G/D D
Let me rock you in my arms
G/B D
And hold you safe and small,
G/D D/A Bm D
A refugee from the seraphim
G/D D
In your rich girl rags and all.
Bm Asus9
Did your dreams die young
G D/F#
Were they too hard won
Em A5 G
Did you reach too high and fall
Bm Asus9
And there is no rest
G D/F#
For the ones God blessed
Em D/F# G A5 G/B D
And he blessed you best of all.
for lyrics to other verses see the album...
Verse accompaniment: First 8 measures are flexible: keep the bass notes
on the important beats, change the rest each verse. Mm9-16 are played
pretty much the same each time except m12 which changes each verse.
