[Verse 1]
[Em]Just like the white wing[C]ed dove
Sings a song

Ooh ooh ooh
Just like the white [C]winged dove
Sings a song
[D]Sounds like [Em]she's singing[D]
[Em]Ooh baby, ooh, said ooh

[Verse 2]
And [C]the days go by
Like [D]a strand in the wind
In [Em]the web that is my own
I begin again
[C]Said to my friend, [D]baby
Nothin' else mattered
[Em]

[Verse 3]
[C]He was no [D]more than a [Em]baby then
Well he [C]seemed broken [D]hearted
Something with[Em]in him
But the mo[C]ment that [D]I first laid
[Em]Eyes on him all alone
On [C]the edge [D]of [Em]seventeen

[Verse 4]
Just like the [C]white winged dove

Sings a song

Said [Em]ooh baby, ooh, said ooh

[Verse 5]
Well, I [Em]went [C]today maybe [D]I will go again
To[Em]morrow
Yeah, yeah
Well [C]the music there,
well [D]it was hauntingly
Fa[Em]miliar
When I see [C]you doing
What I [D]tried to do for me
With [Em]the words from a poet
And a voice from a choir
And [C]a melody [D]nothing else mattered
[Em]

[Verse 6]

[Verse 7]
The [Em]clouds never expect it
When it [C]rains
But [Em]the sea changes [C]colors
But the sea
Does not change
[Em]So with the slow, graceful flow
Of age
I went [C]forth with an age old
Desire to please

[Verse 8]
On the edge of seventeen
[C]
Oo[Em]h

[Verse 10]
Well then [C]suddenly
There was [D]no [Dm]one l[D]eft standing
In [Em]the hall yeah, yeah
In [C]a flood of tears
That [D]no one really ever heard [Em]fall at all
Well, I went [C]searchin' for an answer
Up [D]the stairs and down the hall
[Em]Not to find an answer
Just to hear the call
Of [C]a night[D]bird singing
[Em]Come away, come away

[Verse 12]
Well I hear you in [Em]the morning
And I hear you
At nightfall
Sometimes to be near you
Is to be unable to [C]feel [D]you
My [Em]love
I'm a few years [C]older than you,
[D]my love
[Em]

[Verse 13]
Just like the [C]white winged dove
