-------------------- [Relatively fast 2/2 time] [Intro] G G/F# Em7 C(9) G/B G/F# G C(9) G G/F# Em7 Em7/B C(9) C(9) Dsus/A D Dsus D G G/B G G/B [Verse]
G     G/F#      Em7   Em7/B   C(9)    C(9)      G   G/B
  You come from far away with pictures in your eyes

     G      G/F#     Em7       Em7/B        C(9)     C(9)    D/A   Dsus
Of coffee shops and morning streets in the blue and silent sunrise

    G        G/F#    Em7  Em7/B     C(9)    C(9)    G   G/B
But night is the cathedral where we recognized the sign

   G         G/F#     Em7    Em7/B  G           Dsus/A   G   G/B
We strangers know each other now as part of the whole design

 Am7  Am9    D/A     Dsus    Am7   Am9      D/A   Dsus
Oh, hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep

Am7     Am9    D/A   Dsus        Am7   Am9            D/A  Dsus
Curl me up inside you and let me hear you through the heat

G   G/F#   Em7   C(9)   G/B   G/F#   G   G/B
Ohhhh...

G     G/F#      Em7   Em7/B   C(9)    C(9)      G   G/B
You're the jester of this courtyard with a smile like a girl's

     G      G/F#     Em7       Em7/B        C(9)     C(9)    D/A   Dsus
Distracted by the women with the dimples and the curls

    G        G/F#    Em7  Em7/B     C(9)    C(9)    G   G/B
By the pretty and the mischevious, by the timid and the blessed

   G         G/F#     Em7    Em7/B  G           Dsus/A   G   G/B
By the blowing skirts of ladies who promise to gather you to their breast

Am7  Am9    D/A     Dsus    Am7   Am9      D/A   Dsus
Oh, hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep

Am7     Am9    D/A   Dsus        Am7   Am9            D/A  Dsus
Curl me up inside you and let me hear you through the heat

G   G/F#   Em7   C(9)   G/B   G/F#   G   G/B
Ohhhh...
[Guitar Solo] G G/F# Em7 Em7/B C(9) C(9) Dsus/A D Dsus D G G/B G G/B [Verse]
G     G/F#      Em7   Em7/B   C(9)    C(9)      G   G/B
You have hands of raining water and that earring in your ear

     G      G/F#     Em7       Em7/B        C(9)     C(9)    D/A   Dsus
The wisdom on your face denies the number of your years

    G        G/F#    Em7  Em7/B     C(9)    C(9)    G   G/B
With the fingers of the potter and the laughing tale of a fool

   G         G/F#     Em7    Em7/B  G           Dsus/A   G   G/B
The arranger of disorder with your strange and simple rules

 G        G/F#    Em7  Em7/B     C(9)    C(9)    G   G/B
Yeah, now I've met me another spinner of strange and gauzy threads

   G         G/F#     Em7    Em7/B  G           Dsus/A   G   G/B
With a long and slender body  and a bump upon the head

Am7  Am9    D/A     Dsus    Am7   Am9      D/A   Dsus
Oh, hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep

Am7     Am9    D/A   Dsus        Am7   Am9            D/A  Dsus
Curl me up inside you and let me hear you through the heat

G   G/F#   Em7   C(9)   G/B   G/F#   G   G/B
Ohhhh...

G     G/F#      Em7   Em7/B   C(9)    C(9)      G   G/B
With a long and slender body and the sweetest, softest hands

     G      G/F#     Em7       Em7/B        C(9)     C(9)    D/A   Dsus
And we'll blow away forever soon and go on to different lands

    G        G/F#    Em7  Em7/B     C(9)    C(9)    G   G/B
And please do not ever look for me, but with me you will stay

   G         G/F#     Em7    Em7/B  G           Dsus/A   G   G/B
And you will hear yourself in song, blowing by one day

    Am7  Am9    D/A     Dsus    Am7   Am9      D/A   Dsus
But now, hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep

Am7     Am9    D/A   Dsus        Am7   Am9            D/A  Dsus
Curl me up inside you and let me hear you through the heat

G   G/F#   Em7   C(9)    G/B   G/F#   G   C(9)
Ohhhhhh...

G   G/F#   Em7   Em7/B   C(9)   C(9)  Dsus/A   D   Dsus   D
Ohhhhhh...
[Outro] G G/F# Em7 C(9) G/B G/F# G
