Version 1[Verse] G C G D D7 I skimmed across black water without once submerging, onto the banks of an urban morning G C G D G That hungers the first light, much much more than, the mountains ever do. G C And she like a ghost beside me goes down with the ease of a dolphin, G D D7 And emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed. G C For she is perfect creature, natural in every feature G Em D G And I am the geek with the alchemists' stone. [Chorus] Am D G Em Am D G G7 For all of you who must disc-o-ver,……. for all who seek to understand, Am D G Em F C D D7 For having left the path of o-o-thers,…. you'll find a very special hand. [Verse] G C G D And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time, and it is the o-o-only way. G C G Em Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes, to ponder his death, D G and his life eternally. [Chorus] G C G D And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time, and it is the o-o-only way. G C G Em Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes, to ponder his death, D G and his life eternally. [Instrumental] G C G D G C G Em D G [Outro] G C One bright blue rose outlives all those, two thousand years and still it goes, G Em D G To ponder his death and his life eternally.
