Ballad for My One True Love
Mason Jennings
Capo 1 ----> I'm not too proud to use a capo. Maybe someday. I did not see the need to change the tuning.
(I could be wrong) The song seems to play well this way. Corrections and comments welcomed.
Intro: F Dm Gm C7 (x2)
F D7
Sleeping in a cherry tree -- High above a monastery
Gm C7
Where the bells are ringing slow -- To say farewell when hours go
F
And all the while I'm dreaming of
D7
The ballad for my one true love
Gm C7
Searching for the perfect way to say -- I love you

Sweetheart, this is my dream come true

And god bless the babies -- That sleep in you

With the windows open wide -- I can hear the stars go by

And all the while I'm dreaming of
D7
The ballad for my one true love
Gm C7
Searching for the perfect way to say -- I love you

Sweetheart, this is my dream come true
