Time the greens (?) and pick up screams alone above the square,
BbCBbF
Whoa, sing softly
DAmFG
Above the trees where Billy breathes we float upon the air,
BbCEbBb
Whoa, whoa (whoa)
FDmi7 CBbFDmi7 EbBb
Softly sing sweet songs, Softly sing sweet songs,
FDmi7 CBbAmGmBbAmD
Softly sing sweet songs______, oooooooh
DAmFG
Silent scenes, emotion beams, I'll wake you when we're there,
BbCBbF
Whoa, sing softly
DAmFG
Time it seems in broken dreams to sleep beside the stair,
BbCEbBb
Whoa, whoa (whoa)
FDmi7 CBbFDmi7 EbBb
Softly sing sweet songs, Softly sing sweet songs,
FDmi7 CBbAmGmCBb
Softly sing sweet songs______, oooooooh
The theremin (or whatever it is) solo goes something like this:
GDACABDEb
Then the chorus again:
FDmi7 CBbFDmi7 EbBb
Softly sing sweet songs, Softly sing sweet songs,
FDmi7 CBbFDmi7 EbBb
Softly sing sweet songs, Softly sing sweet songs,
F Dmi7 C Bb Am Gm C Bb Eb F D (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...
