VERSE: C F C E My songs are merely dreams visiting my mind Fmaj7 Ab We talk a while by a crooked stile, C G Em You're lucky to catch a few. Fmaj7 Ab There's no magic wand in a perfumed hand, C G Em It's a pleasure to be true. Fmaj7 Fm In my crystal halls a feather falls C G Em Being beautiful just for you Am G Fmaj7 G C F C Fmaj7 But that might not be quite true, that's up to you.

Fmaj7 Fm That dark princess with saddening jest C G Em She lowered her eyes of woe, Fmaj7 Fm And I felt her sigh, I wouldn't like to try C G Em The changes she's going through Am G Fmaj7 G C Fmaj7 C F C But I hope love comes right through them all with you.
