Part A: Slow 6/8
[Verse 1]
Am D5 Am D5 Alone with my thoughts this evening, I walked on the banks of Tyne Am D5 Am D5 I wondered how I could win you, or if I could make you mine, Am D5 or if I could make you mine
[Verse 2]
Am D5 Am D5 The wind it was so insistent, with tales of a story south Am D5 Am D5 When I spied two birds in a sycamore tree, came a dryness in my mouth, Am D5 came a dryness in my mouth
[Verse 3]
Am D5 Am D5 For then without rhyme or reason, two birds did rise up to fly Am D5 Am D5 And where the two birds were flying, I swear I saw you and I, Am D5 I swear I saw you and I
Part B: 132 bpm 7/4

[Verse 1]
G G/B C D Dsus4 D I walked out this morning, it was like a veil had been removed from before my eyes Em Gmaj7/B Cadd9 D Dsus4 D For the first time I saw the work of heaven, and the line where the hills had been married to the sky G G/B C D Dsus4 D And all around me, every blade of singing grass, B7#5/D# Em Cadd9 D Dsus4 D was calling out your name, and that our love would always last G G/B C D Dsus4 D And inside every turning leaf, is the pattern of an older tree Em Gmaj7/B Cadd9 D Dsus4 D The shape of all our future, the shape of all our history G G/B C D Dsus4 D And out of the confusion, where the river meets the sea, B7#5/D# Em Cadd9 D came things I’d never seen, things I’d never seen
[Chorus 1]

[Verse 2]
G G/B C D Dsus4 D - long to me, I know it’s true, it’s written in a sky as blue Em Gmaj7/B Cadd9 D Dsus4 D As blue as your eyes, as blue as your eyes G G/B C D Dsus4 D If nature’s red in tooth and claw, like winter’s freeze and summer’s thaw B7#5/D# Em Cadd9 D Dsus4 D The wounds she gave me, were the wounds that would heal me G G/B C D Dsus4 D And we’d be like the moon and sun, and when our courtly dance had run Em Gmaj7/B Cadd9 D Dsus4 D Its course across the sky, then together we would lie G G/B C D Dsus4 D And out of the confusion, where the river meets the sea B7#5/D# Em Cadd9 D Dsus4 D Something new would arrive, something better would arrive
[Chorus 2]
