Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I skimmed across black water, without once submerging

Onto the banks of an urban morning

That hungers the first light, much much more than the

mountains ever do.

And she like a ghost beside me, goes down with the case

of a dolphin

And emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed

For she is perfect creature, natural in every feature

 And I am the geek with the alchemists' stone.

For all of you who must discover,

For all who seek to understand,

For having left the path of others

You'll find a very special hand.

And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time

And it is the only way

Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so

it goes

To ponder his death and his life eternally

And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time

And it is the only way

Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so

it goes

To ponder his death and his life eternally

One bright blue rose outlives all those

Two thousand years and still it goes

 To ponder his death and his life eternally
