A Man Is In Love

G

A man is in love, how do I know?
G

He came and walked with me, and he told me so
D
C
Am
D
In a song he sang, and then I knew
G
C
G
A man is in love with you
G
Am
A man is in love, how did I hear?
G

I heard him talk too much whenever you're near
D

He whispered your name when his eyes were closed

Fisherman's Blues

C
G
F
I wish I was a fisherman, tumbling on the seas
Am
C
Far away from dry land, and it's bitter memories
G
F
Casting out my sweet line, with abandonment and love
Am
C
No ceiling staring down on me, save the starry sky above
G
F
Am
C
With light in my hair, you in my arms, woo woo ooh
I wish I was the brake man, on a hurtlin' fevered train Crashing headlong into the heartland, like a cannon in the rain With the beating of the sleepers, and the burning of the coal Counting towns flashing by me, in a night that's full of soul With light in my hair... Oh I know I will be loosened, from bonds that hold me tight And the chains all hung around me will fall away at last And on that fine and fateful day I will take thee in my arms I will ride the night train, and I will be the fisherman With light in my hair... Oh I know I will be loosened, from bonds that hold me tight And the chains all hung around me will fall away at last And on that fine and fateful day I will take thee in my arms I will ride the night train, and I will be the fisherman

Dreamed myself from the sultry plains

To the old green square back in old Maybole Rode the wind up to Stornaway Paused at the peak, pacified my soul Caught the bus at the faery fort Made it to the mansion on the Boyne See I come around to the ancient ways I took a tip from the buddha boy

I just found God where he always was
We came down from the hill of dreams Bernadette, mother earth and you and me Through Carraroe, down the wildwood side Blinding out eyes in the shallow seas Drank fire with the King of the Blues Plugged in to the medicine way Took a long last look at Crazy Horse Push now for a golden age I just found God (I just found) God yeah I just found God (I just found) God yeah I just found God where he always was I found myself on the roof of the world Just waiting for to get my wings Strange angel in the changing light Said "Brother, you forgot something!" My heart beat from the inside out So lucky just to be alive! Can you Tell what I'm talking about? Any day now the Sun's gonna rise I just found God (I just found) God yeah I just found God (I just found) God yeah

I pictured a rainbow, you held in your hands
F

I had flashes, but you saw then plan
C

I wondered out in the world for years
G
F
While you just stayed in your room
G
F
G
C
G
I saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon!
F
G
The whole of the moon!
C
G
You were there at the turnstiles, with the wind at your heels
C
G
You stretched for the stars, and you know how it feels to reach
F
G
F
G
C
Too high, too far, too soon, you saw the whole of the moon!
G
C
G
I was grounded, while you filled the skies
F
G
F

I was dumbfounded by truths, you cut through lies
C
G
C

I saw the rain-dirty valley, you saw Brigadoon

You saw the whole of the moon, The whole of the moon!
C

With a torch in your pocket, and the wind at your heels
C
G
You climbed on the ladder, and you know how it feels to reach
F
G
F
G
C
G
Too high, too far, too soon, you saw the whole of the moon!
F
G
The whole of the moon, Hey, yeah!
C
G
Unicorns and cannonballs, palaces and piers
C
G
Trumpets, towers, and tenements, wide oceans full of tears
F
G
Flag, rags, ferry boats, scimitars and scarves
F
G
Every precious dream and vision, underneath the stars
C
G
Yes, you climbed on the ladder, with the wind in your sails
C
G
You came like a comet, blazing your trail
F
G
F
G
C
Too high, too far, too soon, you saw the whole of the moon!
