[Intro]
G Em7 Bm/D
[Verse 1]
G
Coal-black virgin spinning Above an open ocean
Em7 Bm/D
I hear, I feel, I need, I know
G
Seven sailors swimming, shipwrecked Seven smudgy mirrors
Em7 Bm/D
You gotta let 'em go
Am7
Well I checked out the royal place
C G Gmaj7
Saw the babies all bathed in champagne
Am7 C
So many miles of dirt I traveled
G Gmaj7
Just to park here in your shade
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Em7 C C/B C/A C/G
Borne away on a wave of love
Am7 C
Borne away on a wave
[Interlude]
G Em7 Bm/D x2
[Verse 2]
G
Well they picked poor Robin clean In the shadow ravine
Em7 Bm/D
I seen the bones, I seen his teeth
G
Well, it's scrawled upon the streets Our enemy's victory's complete
Em7 Bm/D
And they'll be coming to collect within the next few hundred weeks
Am7 C
I get a little soft shiver in my shoulder
G Gmaj7
Cause I think there's someone watching
Am7 C
I get a little soft whistle in my ears now
G Gmaj7
But I guess it's just time passing
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Em7 C C/B C/A C/G
Borne away on a wave of love
Am7 C
Borne away on a wave
[Interlude]
G Em7 Bm/D x2
[Verse 3]
G
Blessed blue-black virgin shifting In the ocean's rhythm
Em7 Bm/D
Partly living tissue, partly always hidden
G
Give me strength & vision Watch over the earth
Em7
It's listing, lady, like it's almost broken
Bm/D
Are my eyes now closed or opened?
Am7 C
Our parents are fading out, fading out, fading out
G Gmaj7
Into the fuzzy fuzz
Am7 C
"I can't", I gasp, I gasp and pant
G Gmaj7
I can't get enough air into my lungs
Am7 C
I see the bald head of a vulture
G Gmaj7
Come cresting up the stairs
C Am7
Time holds me, greenish-brown
G Gmaj7
And dying, in a studio somewhere
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Em7 C C/B C/A C/G
Borne away on a wave of love
Am7 C
Borne away on a wave
