Introduction:

 G                                         C9                       D 
You have many houses, one for every season
 G                                                   C9                           D 
Mountains in your windows, violets in your hand
 Em7                                                             C9                             D 
Through your English meadows your blue-eyed horses wander
 C9                                                 D 
You're in Colorado for the spring
 G                                                   C9                                       D 
When the winter finds you, you fly to where it's summer
 G                                                   C9                               D 
Rooms that face the ocean, moonlight on your bed
 Em7                                               C9                                 D 
Mermaids swift as dolphins paint the air with diamonds
 C9                                                       D 
You are like a seagull as you said
 C                                                                                             G 
Why do you fly bright feathered sometimes in my dreams?
 Bb                                               C 
The shadows of your wings fall over my face
 Bb                                 C 
I can feel no air, I can find no peace
 Bb                                             C 
Brides in black ribbons, witches in white
 Bb                                           C                                     G 
Fly in through windows, fly out through the night
 C                                                                               G 
Why do I think I'm dying sometimes in my dreams
 Bb                                       C 
I see myself a child running through the trees
 Bb                                       C 
Searching for myself, looking for my life
 Bb                                 C 
Looking everywhere crawling on my knees
 Bb                                                 C 
I cannot see the leaves, I cannot see the light
 Em7                                         D 
Then I see you walking just beyond the forest
 Em7                                     D 
Walking very quickly, walking by yourself
 Em7                                       D 
Your shoes are silver, your coat is made of velvet
 Em7                                       D 
Your eyes are shining, your voice is sweet and clear
 C                                                                   D 
"Come on", you say, "Come with me, I'm going to the castle"
 C                                                   D 
All the bells are ringing, the weddings have begun
 C                                                   D 
But I can only stand here, I cannot move to follow
 C                                                           C9                           D 
I'm burning in the shadows and freezing in the sun
 G                                                 C9                         D 
There are people with you living in your houses
 G                                                           C9                             D 
People from your childhood who remember how you were
 Em7                                             C9                         D 
You were always flying, nightingale of sorry
 C9                               D                               C 
Singing bird with rainbows on your wings
This one was a bear to work out sometimes the chords I intend don't show properly there should be no barre
