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