Bright Blue Rose

Thanks to Dave Roberts for the lyrics and tabs

D			              G     
I skimmed across black water, without once submerging 
D        A                 A7
Onto the banks of an urban morning 
        D               G			
That hungers the first light, much much more 
     D         A7   D
Than mountains ever do.
 
               D	         		          G
And she like a ghost beside me goes down with the ease of a dolphin
D		       A			A7
And emerges unlearned, unscathed , unharmed.
     D			              G 
For she is the perfect creature, natural in every feature
             D             A          D
And I am the geek with the alchemists stone.
 
Em              A          D           Em      A        D
For all of you who must discover , for all who seek to understand
Em         A                   D         C      G            A
For having left the path of others, you find a very special hand
 
            D                       G
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time 
    D         A
And it is the only way
   D                                G 
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes
      D       A	        D
To ponder his death and his life eternally
 
Em              A          D           Em      A        D
For all of you who must discover , for all who seek to understand
Em         A                   D         C      G            A
For having left the path of others, you find a very special hand
 
            D                       G
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time 
    D         A
And it is the only way
   D                                G 
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes
   D            A	       D
To ponder his death and his life eternally
 
D                          
One bright blue rose outlives all those
G
Two thousand years and still it goes
      D       A7	       D
To ponder his death and his life eternally
