Wild With Mist Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][C][Em][C]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Wild with mist,
the [C]Turner paintings [Em]shine
Upon the walls [D]where [C]I stand and gaze
[D]Embedded in the win[C]d and
[D]water
Emboldened by [C]the sight of oth[D]er worlds

[Verse 2]
[Em]I wander through the softly
spread[C]ing sunlight
[Em]Into another, and then [C]another world
[D]Seeing the heads [C]of whales
[D]Seeing the ships [C]of night
[D]Sighting places where [C]Turner
went to [Em]paint
Slipping into deep waters,
[C]to worlds much traveled
[D]Sightings that would save the wind,
the [Em]water and [C]the sea
[Em]For me to dwel[C]l in
[G]Drinking coffee in

[Verse 3]
the lovely old [C]cafe
[G]The dimly lighted restaurant where
[C]I sip my c[D]afe au l[G]ait
Reading the guidebook to this
[C]old walled [D]mu seum
[Em]Pitted with wind and [C]rain
An[D]d bullet [Bm]holes from [C]some
old battle in the [D]streets
That [Em]lead down to the [C]wa terfront
where the [D]whaling [Bm]ships of [C]old
[Em]Sink in water to their [D]knees
Like [C]ships impaled on [D]hooks of rusted
[C]steel and drowned [D]in blood
[C]Upon the black [D]harpoons

[Verse 4]
[G]I tip the waiter and go back to gaze
[C]On the white misted sce[D]nes
[G]That leap like visions from
[C]the canvas of the [D]man
[Em]Who had a lover in a little sea-
[C]swept town near [D]London
[C]Mr. Turner in his fine black
hat [D]and un[Bm]clouded [C]eye
Who [Em]spied [C]the mag[Am]ic in [C]the
water's mis[D]t
[Em]Among [C]the ships

[Verse 5]
[Em]Wild with mist,
the [C]Turner paintings [Em]shine
Upon the wall[D]s w[C]here I stand and gaze

[Outro 1]
[C]
