G                     Bm
Thrown like a star in my vast sleep,

I open my eyes to take a peep,

to find that I was by the sea
C                 D7
gazing with tran..quility.

came singing songs of love.

Then when the hurdy gurdy man
     G
came singing songs of love.
F            C

G
hurdy gurdy gurdy he sang.(x3)
