Time the greens (?) and pick up screams alone above the square,
            
Whoa, sing softly
                                                   
Above the trees where Billy breathes we float upon the air,
      
Whoa, whoa (whoa)

      Dmi7                 Dmi7        
Softly sing sweet songs, Softly sing sweet songs,
      Dmi7                   
Softly sing sweet songs______, oooooooh

                                                   
Silent scenes, emotion beams, I'll wake you when we're there,
            
Whoa, sing softly
                                               
Time it seems in broken dreams to sleep beside the stair,
       
Whoa, whoa (whoa)

      Dmi7                 Dmi7        
Softly sing sweet songs, Softly sing sweet songs,
      Dmi7                 
Softly sing sweet songs______, oooooooh

The theremin (or whatever it is) solo goes something like this:

               
              

Then the chorus again:

      Dmi7                 Dmi7        
Softly sing sweet songs, Softly sing sweet songs,
      Dmi7                 Dmi7        
Softly sing sweet songs, Softly sing sweet songs,
      Dmi7                      (loud)
Softly sing sweet songs______, oooooooh

Someone else figure out the guitar solo! I'm not sure I have the lyrics right here,
but the chords sound pretty good...
