A F#m Bm Dsus2 Come and touch the things you cannot feel. A Dsus2 A Dsus2 And close your fingertips and fly where I can't hold you A Dsus2 A Dsus2 Let the sun-rain fall and let the dewy clouds enfold you A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A And maybe you can sing to me the words I just told you, F#m Bm Dsus2 If all the things you feel ain't what they seem. A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2 And don't mind me 'cause I ain't nothin' but a dream. (Verse 2) A Dsus2 A Dsus2 The mocking bird sings each different song A Dsus2 A Dsus2 Each song has wings - they won't stay long. A Dsus2 A Dsus2 Do those who hear think he's doing wrong? A Dsus2 A Dsus2 While the church bell tolls its one-note song A Dsus2 A Dsus2 And the school bell is tinkling to the throng. A F#m Bm Dsus2 Come here where your ears cannot hear. A Dsus2 A Dsus2 And close your eyes, child, and listen to what I'll tell you A Dsus2 A Dsus2 Follow in the darkest night the sounds that may impel you A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A And the song that I am singing may disturb or serve to quell you F#m Bm Dsus2 If all the sounds you hear ain't what they seem, A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2 Then don't mind me 'cause I ain't nothin' but a dream (Verse 3) A Dsus2 A Dsus2 The rising smell of fresh-cut grass A Dsus2 A Dsus2 Smothered cities choke and yell with fuming gas A Dsus2 A Dsus2 I hold some grapes up to the sun A Dsus2 A Dsus2 And their flavour breaks upon my tongue. A Dsus2 A Dsus2 With ea---ger tongues we taste our strife A Dsus2 A Dsus2 And fill our lungs with seas of life. A F#m Bm Dsus2 Come taste and smell the waters of our time. A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A And close your lips, child, so softly I might kiss you, Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Let your flower perfume out and let the winds caress you. Dsus2 A Dsus2 A As I walk on through the garden, I am hoping I don't miss you F#m Bm Dsus2 If all the things you taste ain't what they seem, A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2 Then don't mind me 'cause I ain't nothin' but a dream. (Verse 4) Dsus2 A Asus2 The sun and moon both arise Dsus2 A Dsus2 And we'll see them soon through days and nights A Dsus2 A Dsus2 But now silver leaves are mirrors, bring delights. A Dsus2 A Dsus2 And the colours of your eyes are fiery bright, A Dsus2 A Dsus2 While darkness blinds the skies with all its light. A F#m Bm Dsus2 Come see where your eyes cannot see. A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A And close your eyes, child, and look at what I'll show you; Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Let your mind go reeling out and let the breezes blow you, Dsus2 A Dsus2 A And maybe when we meet then suddenly I will know you. F#m Bm Dsus2 If all the things you see ain't what they seem, A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2 Then don't mind me 'cause I ain't nothin' but a dream.
