A - Amaj7 - A6 - A - Esus4 - E - E7sus4

E7    A             Amaj7        A6            A
I was thrown on the cobblestones tossed at her feet

    C               Cmaj7           C6            C
My fool's mouth was filled with the dust from the street

    E                Esus4       E          Esus2
An out of work court jester with nowhere to go

   Bm         Bm/A       Bm/G#        Bm      E
An no need to speak for she seemed to know


A              Amaj7        A6
She sings her songs without words

A          Esus4       E             Esus2        E7
Songs that sailors and blind men and beggars have heard

    A              Amaj7        A6        A
She knows more of love than the poets can say

        Esus4      E              E7sus2 - E - A
And her eyes offer something that won't go away


Amaj7 - A6 - A - Esus4 - E - E7sus2 - E7


E7    A             Amaj7        A6            A
This mad mocking town and its dishonored guest

    C               Cmaj7           C6            C
Disappeared in the colors that danced on her dress

    E                Esus4       E          Esus2
She led me to safety in a forest of green

   Bm         Bm/A       Bm/G#        Bm      E
And showed my stale eyes some sights never seen


A              Amaj7        A6
She sings her songs without words

A          Esus4       E             Esus2        E7
Songs that sailors and blind men and beggars have heard

    A              Amaj7        A6        A
She knows more of love than the poets can say

        Esus4      E              E7sus2 - E - A
And her eyes offer something that won't go away


Amaj7 - A6 - A - F - Fmaj7 - F6 - F

C7sus4 - C7 - C7sus2 - C7 - F - Fmaj7 - F6 - F - Bm7-5 - E - E7sus4


E7    A             Amaj7        A6            A
She spins magic and moonlight in her meadows and streams

    C               Cmaj7           C6            C
And seeks deep inside me and touches my dreams

    E                Esus4       E          Esus2
The morning comes smiling and I laugh with no sound

   Bm         Bm/A       Bm/G#                  Bm      E
And snuggle in silence to the sweet peace I've found


A              Amaj7        A6
She sings her songs without words

A          Esus4       E             Esus2        E7
Songs that sailors and blind men and beggars have heard

    A              Amaj7        A6        A
She knows more of love than the poets can say

        Esus4      E              E7sus2 - E - A - Amaj7 - A6
And her eyes offer something that won't go away

A      Esus4    E   E7sus2  E7   A
No they won't go away,      go away

Amaj7 - A6 - A - Esus4 - E - E7sus2 - E7

A - Amaj7 - A6 - A - Esus4 - E - Esus2 - E
