Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[D][C][G][D][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]If I could sing like
the poets and kings of this world
If I could rise like the wind
or the tides of [G]the sea
I would sing you [A]to sleep my love,
with [D]sweet [G]melody
And let you [A]dream away till
[D]the morning light re[G]turned again
To [Asus4]take you away from me[A]
[D][C][G]

[Verse 2]
[D]If I could speak with the tongues
of the masters of old
If I could tame all the fleeting
perceptions I [G]hold
Would I stand in the [A]marketplace
[D]before [G]you?
To be shouted [A]down without any [D]warning at all,
to [G]be stood by the wall
[A]And shot by the man in blue

[Interlude 1]
[A][D][C][G][D][C][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]If I could run with the grace
of a sun- colored stallion
If I could fly like the great
silver jets in [G]the morning
If I caused [A]the wind to change
with one [D]wave of my [G]hand
And if I could [A]play the final sym
[D]phony and set [G]it free
Would it [Asus4]mean anything
to [A]you?

[Interlude 2]
[D][C][G][D][C][G]

[Verse 4]
[D]If I could stand like a rusty
old man in his armor
If I could ride the steed that
[A]he rode in his [D]time[G]
I would turn his [A]head away to the [D]river[G]
And let him [A]wander [D]through the meadow grass,
[G]wild and free
[A]For everyone to see

[Interlude 3]
[A][D][C][G][D][C][G]

[Verse 5]
[D]If I could sing like the poets
and kings of this world
If I could fly like the wind
or the tides of [G]the sea
I would sing you [A]to sleep my love,
with sweet [D]melody[G]
And let you [A]dream away till
[D]the morning light re[G]turned again
To take you [A]away from me

[Outro 1]
[D][C][G][D][C][G][D][C][G][D]
