Song To The Siren
Tuning: Standard
A#Long afloat Fon shipless oceans
D#I did all my Gmbest to smile
A#'Til your singing Feyes and fingers
D#Drew me loving Gmto your isle
A#And you sang &G#quot;Sail toGm me, sail to me, let A#me unfold you"
GmHere I am, Gmhere I am, Fwaiting to D#hold Gmyou
A#Did I dream Fyou dreamed about me
D#Were you hare when GmI was fox
A#Now my foolish Fboat is leaning
D#Broken lovelorn Gmon your rocks,
A#For you sing, &G#quot;Touch me Gmnot, touch me not, come baA#ck tomorrow
GmO my heart, O Gmmy heart Fshies from the D#sorrGmow"
A#I am puzzled Fas the newborn child
D#I am troubled Gmat the tide
A#Should I standF amid the breakers?
D#Should I lie with GmDeath my bride?
A#Hear me sing, &G#quot;Swim toGm me, Swim to me, Let A#me enfold you
GmHere I am, GmHere I am, FWaiting to D#hold Gmyou"
