Hearken

Intro (x4): Dbm A E

Verse 1:
Dbm                 A
Running my hands on twine for chord,
  E
a timorous glance from mine to yours
Dbm                 A                 E
"Make me a melody," I muttered mousily


Dbm                   A
Speak your prose with none to please,
E
weigh your elbows on my knees
Dbm                A
As uttered several times before:
E
"Rhyme with your truth, ne'er to foreswore."

Pre-chorus:
Dbm             A                E
 To be drawn to you is a kindness,
E
steadily strumming just to remind us

Spoken:
Dbm             A E
 Give me a word!
E
...perfect!

Chorus:
Dbm      A            E
Hearken, hearken for a while,
Dbm      A             E
Hearken, hearken for a while


         Dbm            A
We could sway above the meadows
       E
as our riddles rest beneath,
       Dbm         A
As our Verses hide away,
         E
we could say, "Let it be."

Verse 2:
Dbm                    A                E
 Does your heart, too, whistle a wonder?
E                                 Dbm
If the past is wed with the future,
Dbm          A
is the now a chance or a passage
E
only to be walked upon?


Dbm             A
 And if that is what they are after,
E                                Dbm
solely to foretell or to remember,
Dbm              A
it is us who are left above bedding,
E
borrowing breaths, bothered not by an ending


Dbm
Pa, la, la, la,
A
Pa, la, la, la,
E
Pa, la, la, la, la, la...

Bridge:
   Dbm      A
Forget your voice,
   E
forget your mind
    Dbm              A
For when they find a way to wander,
E
we will let it all

Chorus:
Dbm      A            E
Hearken, hearken for a while,
Dbm      A             E
Hearken, hearken for a while


         Dbm            A
We could sway above the meadows
       E
as our riddles rest beneath,
Dbm            A
I will listen, I will listen,
E
I will let it be

(nc):
I will-

Dbm
Pa, la, la, la,
A
Pa, la, la, la,
E
Pa, la, la, la...(2x)
Dbm                 A
Pa, la, la, la, la, la,
A           E
La, la, la, la
E
La, la, la, la...

Chorus:
Dbm      A
Hearken, hearken,
E
Hearken, hearken,
Dbm      A             E
Hearken, hearken for a while


         Dbm            A
We could sway above the meadows
       E
as our riddles rest beneath,
       Dbm         A
As our Verses hide away,
         E
we could say, "Let it be..."
