[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F][G]
[C]

[Verse 1]
If the dull substance of [F]my
flesh were [C]thought
Injurious distance should not [F]stop [Dm]my wa[G]y
[C]For then despite of space
I [F]would be [C]brought
From limits far [G]remote where
thou [C]dost stay[F]
No matter then [G]although my foot did stand
[C]Upon the farthest earth
removed [F]from thee
For nimble thought can
jump [G]both sea and land
[C]As soon as think the[F] place
where he would be
[G]Ah! [C]But thought kills me that
[F]I a[Dm]m not[C] thought
To leap large lengths of
miles when [G]thou art gone
[C]But that so much of earth
[F]and water [C]wrought
I must attend time's [G]leisure
with my [C]moan[Em]
[Am]Receiving nought by elements so sl[G]ow[Em]
[Dm]But heav[F]y tears,
badges [Am]of either's woe

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][Am][G][F]
[C]

[Verse 2]
[Am]The other two, slight air and purging [C]fire
[G]Are both with thee, wherever [C]I abide
[F]The first my thought, the other my desire
[C]These present- absent
with swift motion [Am]slide
For when these quicker elements are gone
[G]In tender embassy of love to thee
[F]My life, being made of four,
[C]with two alone
Sinks down to death,
oppress'd with [Am]melancholy
Until life's composition [G]be recured
By those swift messengers
re[F]turn'd from thee
Who even but now come [C]back again,
assured
Of thy fair health, recounting it to [Am]me
This told, [G]I joy; but then no longer g[F]lad
I send them back again and straight
grow [C]sad[G]

[Outro 1]
