Waving Girl

Chorus
C Em F C
I will follow you through the garden
C Em F G
Throw yellow petals into the brine
C Em F C
May all our days stay unforgotten
F G C
Until the tide returns you to me

Verse 1
C Em F C
Waving from the shore in the daylight
C Em F G
Bright yellow lanterns in a black sea
C Em F C
Oh here is where I’ll stay in my own time
F G C
Until the tide returns you to me

Chorus
C Em F C
I will follow you through the garden
C Em F G
Throw yellow petals into the brine
C Em F C
May all our days stay unforgotten
F G C
Until the tide returns you to me

Verse 2
C Em F C
Notches on the masthead mark the time
C Em F G
Days and hours they go slowly by
C Em F C
How you and the magnolia stay
F G C
A golden picture in my mind


Bridge
Em F C
Everywhere the peach of your skin
Em F C
Sunlight laughing in your eyes
F C F C
You are the tether, you are the chord
F C F G C
You are the anchor to bring me back to your shore

Instrumental
C, Em, F , C
C, Em , F, G
C, Em, F, C
F, G, C


Verse 3
C Em F C
Months and years pass slowly by
C Em F G
Still I watch those yellow lights
C Em F C
Because I know that you’ve not forgotten
F G C
How the tide will bring you back to me

Chorus
C Em F C
I will follow you through the garden
C Em F G
Throw yellow petals into the brine
C Em F C
May all our days stay unforgotten
F G C
Until the tide returns you to me

Chorus
C Em F C
I will follow you through the garden
C Em F G
Throw yellow petals into the brine
C Em F C
May all our days stay unforgotten
F G C
Until the tide returns you to me
