Judy Collins - Song For David
CAPO: 1st Fret
[Intro]
C Bb F C Bb F
[Verse 1]
C Bb F
In my heart I will wait by the stony gate
C Bb F
And the little one in my arms will sleep
C Bb F
Every rising of the moon makes the years grow late
C Bb F
And the love in my heart will keep
[Verse 2]
Dm F Dm F
There are friends I will make and bonds I will break
Dm F Dm G C
As the seasons roll by and we build our own sky
[Verse 3]
Bb F
The stars in your sky are the stars in mine
C Bb F
And both prisoners of this life are we
C Bb F
Through the same troubled waters we carry our time
C Bb F
You and the convicts and me
[Verse 4]
Dm F Dm F Dm
There's a good thing to know on the outside or in
F Dm G C
To answer, not where, but just who I am
[Verse 5]
C Bb F
Oh, the hills that you know will remain for you
C Bb F C
And the little willow green will stand firm
Bb F
And the flowers that we planted in the seasons past
C Bb F
Will all bloom on the day you return
[Verse 6]
Dm F Dm F Dm
To a baby at play, all a mother can say
F Dm G C
He'll return on the wind to our hearts until then
[Verse 7]
Bb F C
I'll sit and I'll wait by the stony gate
Bb F
And the little one 'neath the trees will dance
And dance
And dance
