Gypsy Hymn

F Em G C C Am C Am The ferry man brought me with mind open, dreaming, F Em G C we cut the depths with laughter. C Am C Am Stayed with my youth that God's tooth cut when weaning, F G F now and ever after. F The will of the void is to shape and name forms... Am C Am C our dance was never done, then. F I remember you well from before you were born, Am C Am C my chance was never won, then. F (2 bars) F I burned the sports pages, F as I already knew the score. C F Am F Put faith in the fire, C F Am F forever and ever more. C Am Your colours of autumn, C Am you're burnished with gold there, F Em G C and standing in the river. C Am The circle of trees and C Am the full wish we told there, F G F truthful as a prison. F I looked at the mystery and all she evoked, Am C Am C my patron saint stood near her. F But the mystery walked and the mystery spoke, Am C Am C my saint said, "never fear her". F (2 bars) F Now Mab is my queen, oh, and Mab is my chief. C F Am F Mab is my root now, C F Am F my strong trunk and branch to the leaf. C Am The circle remains and still from its past; F G F G now waiting, now singing, now flying half-mast. C Am She is and she's whole, I'll know love again. F G F G I'll know my song well, each dying refrain. C Am Each cadence and twist, well-observed in its harmony. F G Silence come clean, F Am pull stillness for our lady. Am C Gypsy hymn sing we slow, F G F G and tenderly bear me on your west wind blow... your Am C gypsy hymn let me flow, F G F Am and sing me again before you got to go. F G F C Sing me again before you got to go.
