Use a capo on the first fret. This is my own interpretation of the David Gray
cover of Tim Buckleys Song to the Siren featured on David Grays live Album A
thousand miles behind. Enjoy :)
A Cm
Long afloat on shipless oceans
D Fm/E
I did all my best to smile
A Cm
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
D Fm/E
Drew me loving to your isle
A
And you sang
G
Sail to me
Fm
Sail to me
A
Let me enfold you
Fm
Here I am
A
Here I am
Cm D
Waiting to hold you, Waiting to ho......ld you
A Cm
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
D Fm/E
Were you here when i was full sail
A Cm
Now my foolish boat is leaning
D Fm/E
Broken lovelorn on your rocks,
A G Fm A
For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow
Fm A Cm D
O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow"
A Cm
I am puzzled as the newborn child
D Fm/E
I am troubled at the tide
A Fm/E
Should I stand amid the breakers?
D Fm/E
Should I lie with Death my bride?
A G Fm A
Hear me sing, "Swim to me, Swim to me, Let me enfold you
Fm A Cm D
Here I am, Here I am, Waiting to hold you"
