BRIGHT BLUE ROSE  (Mary Black)  Capo 1
----------------
                               
I skimmed across black water, without once submerging
                             
Onto the banks of an urban morning
                             
That hungers the first light, much much more than the
              
mountains ever do.
                               
And she like a ghost beside me, goes down with the case

of a dolphin
            
And emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed
                            
For she is perfect creature, natural in every feature
                                      
And I am the geek with the alchemists' stone.

                         
For all of you who must discover,
                       
For all who seek to understand,
                            
For having left the path of others
                         
You'll find a very special hand.


                           
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time
                   
And it is the only way
                                     
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so

it goes
                                  
To ponder his death and his life eternally

                            
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time
                   
And it is the only way
                                    
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so

it goes
                                  
To ponder his death and his life eternally


One bright blue rose outlives all those

Two thousand years and still it goes
                                  
To ponder his death and his life eternally

I love this song.....timing is difficult.
Capo 1 to tune to CD version of Mary Black.
I made up these chords cos there weren't any to be found
anywhere....only words!  Sounds pretty close to my untrained ear.
So I thought I would share them and give back in thanks for all the
wonderful music that has so generously been shared with me.
