Judy Collins - Prothalamium
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
D Am
Come, all of you who are not satisfied
E F G
As rulers in a lone wallpapered room
Am Em
Full of mute birds and flowers that falsely bloom
Am D Am
And closets choked with dreams that long ago died
[Verse 2]
C Dm C
Come, let us sweep the old streets like a bride
F C Dm Am
Sweep out the dead leaves with a relentless broom
C G
Prepare for spring as if he were our groom
Am C D Am D
For whose light footstep eagerly we bide
[Verse 3]
G D
We'll sweep out the shadows, where the rats long fed
Em G Am
Sweep out our shame and in its place we'll make
D G D
A bower for love, a splendid marriage bed
Am D Am G Am
Fragrant with flowers, a-quiver for the spring
[Verse 4]
G C
And when he comes, our murdered dreams shall wake
F G
And when he comes, all the mute birds shall sing
C G Am D Am
And when he comes, all the mute birds shall sing
