A Sense Of Wonder Tab

by Van Morrison


key: 
Intro:  

                                
        I walked in my great coat,   down through the days of leaves
                                 
        No before, after, yes, after before
                                
We were shining our light into the days of blooming wonder
                                               
In the eternal presence,   in the presence of the flame


CHORUS -----------------------------------------
                                        
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?
                          
Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright?
                                                        
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder----- in the flame?

On and on and on, we kept singing our song
                                              
Thru Newtonards and Comber, Gransha and the Ballystockart Road
                                                                          
With Spike and Boffyflow, I said I would describe the leaves for Samuel
                                                        & Felicity
                                                             
Rich, red, browney, half burnt orange and green


CHORUS -----------------------------------------
                                        
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?
                          
Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright?
                                                        
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder----- in the flame?

Bridge:
                       
It's easy to describe the leaves in the Autumn
                    
And it's oh so easy in the Spring
                 
But down through January and February
                           
It's a very different thing
                                     
On and on and on, through the winter of our discontent
                                                              
When the wind blows up the collar and the ears are frostbitten too
                                                         
I said I could describe the leaves and what it means to you and me
                                              
You may call my love Sophia, but I call my love philosophy


CHORUS -----------------------------------------
                                        
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?
                          
Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright?
                                                        
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder----- in the flame?

Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?
                          
Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright?
                                                        
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder----- in the flame?
