Song to the Siren Tim Buckley
From Starsailor, 1971
Capo 1
Verse 1:
[A]Long afloat[E] on shipless oceans
[D]I did all m[F#m]y best to smile
[A]'Til your singing[E] eyes and fingers
[D]Drew me lovin[F#m]g to your isle
[A]And you sang
[G]Sail to me,[D] sail to me
[A]Let me enfold you Here I am
[F#m] Here I am[E]
Waiting to hold[D] you[F#m]
Verse 2:
[A]Did I dream [E]you dreamed about me?
[D]Were you hare when [F#m]I was fox?
[A]Now my foolish [E]boat is leaning
[D]Broken lovelorn[F#m] on your rocks,
[A]For you sing,
[G]"Touch me not,[D] touch me not,
[A]come back tomorrow, O my heart,
[F#m] O my heart [E] shies from the [D]sorrow"[F#m]
Verse 3:
[A]I am puzzled as the n[E]ewborn child
[D]I'm as riddled at th[F#m]e tide
[A]Should I stand am[E]id the breakers?
[D]Or should I lie with [F#m]Death my bride?
[A]Hear me sing, "S[G]wim to me,
[D]Swim to me, Let me [A]enfold you, Here I am,
[F#m] Here I am,[E] Waiting to ho[D]ld you"[F#m]
