Intro
F#m D A E (2x)
[Verse 1]
F#m D A E
I would that we were, my beloved
F#m D A E
White birds on the foam of the sea__
F#m D A E
We tire of the flame of a meteor
B A E
Before it can fade and flee
[Verse 2]
D A Bm A E F#m
And the flame of the blue star of twilight
D A E
Hung low on the rim of the sky
D A E F#m
Has awaked in our hearts, my beloved
D A E
B sadness that may not die
[Verse 3]
F#m D A E
B weariness comes from those dreamers
F#m D A E
Dew-dabbled, the lily and rose__
F#m D A E
Ah, dream not of that, my beloved
B A E
Burn the flame of the meteor that goes
[Verse 4]
D A Bm A E F#m
Or the flame of the blue star that lingers
D A E
Hung low in the fall of the dew
D A E F#m
For I would we were changed To white birds on the wandering foam
D A E

[Verse 5]
F#m D A E
I am haunted by numberless islands
F#m D A E
And many a Danaan shore
F#m D A E
When time would surely forget us
B A E
And sorrow come near us no more
[Verse 6]
D A Bm A E F#m
Soon far from the rose and the lily__
D A E
And afraid of the flames would we be
D A E F#m
Were we only white birds, my beloved
D A E
Right out of the foam of the sea
D A E F#m
Were we only white birds, my beloved
D A E
Right out of the foam of the sea
