Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 5Song To The Siren (Tim Buckley) TIM BUCKLEY From Starsailor, 1971 [Verse 1] Bb F Long afloat on shipless oceans Eb Gm I did all my best to smile Bb F 'Til your singing eyes and fingers Eb Gm Drew me loving to your isle Bb Ab And you sang Eb Sail to me, sail to me Bb Let me enfold you Gm Here I am F Here I am Eb Gm Waiting to hold you [Verse 2] Did I dream you dreamed about me? Were you hare when I was fox? Now my foolish boat is leaning Broken lovelorn on your rocks, For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow: O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow" [Verse 3] I am puzzled as the newborn child I'm as riddled at the tide Should I stand amid the breakers? Or should I lie with Death my bride? Hear me sing, "Swim to me, Swim to me, Let me enfold you: Here I am, Here I am, Waiting to hold you" *** With a capo at the third fret, you can play G D C Em G F C G Em D C Em
