[Verse 1]
E A B E
Sister bluebird flying high above
E A B E
Shine your wings forward to the sun
E A B E
Hide the myst'ries of life on your way
C D C G
Though you've seen them, please don't say a word
E A F#m A
What you don't know, I have never heard
E A B E
Starship trooper, go sailing on by
E A B E
Catch my soul, catch the very light
E A B E
Hide the moment from my eager eye
C D C G
Though you've seen them, please don't tell a soul
E A F#m A
What you can't see, can't be very whole
C Bm Am E Bm E
[Chorus]
A
Speak to me of summer
C F Bb
Long winters longer than time can remember
C
The setting up of other roads
Bb F
To travel on in old accustomed ways
A C
I still remember the talks by the water
F
The proud sons and daughter
Bb C
That knew the knowledge of the land
F Bb
Spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways
E A E A
[Verse 2]
E A B E
Mother life, hold firmly on to me
E A B E
Catch my knowledge higher than the day
E A B E
Lose as much as only you can show
C D C G
Though you've seen me, please don't say a word
E A F#m A
What I don't know, I have never shared
A E D G A E
D G A
[Inter]
A E D G A E
Loneliness is a power that we possess to give or take away forever
A E D G A E D G
All I know can be shown by your acceptance of the facts there shown before you
A E D G A E D G
Take what I say in a different way and it's easy to say that this is all confusion
A E D G A
As I see a new day in me, I can also show it you and you may follow
