[Intro 1]
[D][Em][D][Em][D][Em][D][Em]

[Verse 1]
Let [D]the
river [Em]rock you like a [D]cradle[Em]
[D]Climb to the [Em]treetops, child,
if you're [D]able[Em]
Let your [D]hands tie [Em]a knot
across the [D]table.[Em][D]
Come and [Bm]touch the things you
can[Em]not f[Asus4]eel.[Em][A]

[Verse 2]
An[D]d close your f[G]ingertips a[D]n d fly
where I can[G]'t hold [D]you
Let the sun[G]-rain fall fall and [D]let the
dewy clouds [G]enfold [D]you
And may[G]be you can sing [D]to me
the words [G]I just told y[D]ou,
If all the [Bm]things you feel [A]ain't
what they [Asus4]seem.[A]
[D]And don't [G]mind me [F#m]'cos I a[Em]in't nothin'
[A]but[D] a dream.
[Em][D][Em]

[Verse 3]
[D]
The mocking [Em]bird sings each
different [D]song[Em]
[D]Each song [Em]has wings - they
won't [D]stay [Em]long.
Do [D]those who [Em]hear think he's
do[D]ing [Em]wrong?
While [D]the church [Em]bell tolls its one-note song
[D]son[Em]g
And [D]the [F#m]school [D]bell [Em]is tinkling
to [D]the throng.[Em][D]
Come here where [Bm]your ears
[A]cannot [Em]hear.[A]

[Verse 4]
An[D]d close y[G]our eyes, child,
[D]and listen to what I'l[G]l tell you[D]
Follow in [G]the darkest [D]night the
sounds that [G]may impel [D]you
And the song [G]that I am singing [D]may
disturb or [G]serve [D]to quellyou
[Bm]If all the sounds you hear [Em]ain't
what they [Asus4]seem,[A]
[D]Then don't [G]mind me [F#m]'cos I a[Em]in't
noth[A]in' [D]but a dream
[Em][D][Em]

[Verse 5]
[D]
The [Em]rising smell of fresh-cut [D]grass
[Em]grass
[D]Smothered cities choke [Em]and
yell with [D]fuming [Em]gas
[D]I hold s[Em]ome grapes up to the s[D]un[Em]
And [D]their [Em]flavour breaks
upon [D]my [Em]tongue.
With [D]eager [Em]tongues we
[G]taste [D]our str[Em]ife
An[F#m]d fill our [Em]lungs with
[D]seas of [Em]life.[G][D]
Come taste and smell the waters
of [Asus4]our time.[A]

[Verse 6]
[D]And close [Em]your lips, child,
[G]so [D]softly I mig[G]ht kiss you[D],
Let your [G]flower perfume out and
[D]let the winds [G]caress [D]you.
As I [G]walk through the garden,
[D]I am hoping I don[G]'t miss you[D]
If all the things you taste ain't
what [Em]they [A]seem,
[D]Then don't [Bm]mind me [A]'cos I ain't
[G]nothin'[A] but[D] a dre[Em]am .[D][Em][D]

[Verse 7]
The [Em]sun and [D]moon both [Em]arise
And [D]we'll see them [Em]soon
through [D]days [Em]and nights
But [D]now silver leaves [Em]are mirrors,
bring de[D]lights.[Em]
And [D]the colours of [Em]your eyes
are [D]fiery [Em]bright,
[D]While darkness [Em]blinds the
skies [D]with all its [Em]light.[D]
Come see where [Bm]your eyes
[Em]cannot [A]see.

[Verse 8]
[D]And close [G]your eyes, child,
[D]and look at what I'l[G]l sho[D]w you;
Let your [G]mind go reeling out an
[D]d let the breezes [G]blow [D]you,
And [G]maybe when we [D]meet
then suddenly [G]I will know y[D]ou.
If [Bm]all the things you [D]see [Em]ain
quote t what they [A]seem,
[D]Then don't mind [G]me [F#m]'cos I
[Em]ain't noth[A]in' [D]but a [Em]dream .
And you [D]can [Em]follow; And you can[D]
[Em]foll[D]ow; [Em]fol low.[D]..
