Ooh Ooh Ooh

           C             D
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

 Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

     C             D
And the days go by like a strand in the wind

      Em
In the web that is my own I begin again

 C             D           Em
Said to my friend, Baby, nothing else mattered

 C        D      Em
He was no more than a baby then

     C             D
Well he seemed broken-hearted

          Em
Something within him

      C         D    Em
But the moment that I first laid eyes on him

          C    D     Em
All alone on the edge of seventeen



          C             D
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

 Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

          C             D
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

 Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh



    C         D            Em
Well I went today maybe I will go again tomorrow

      C           D          Em
And the music there well it was hauntingly familiar

     C            D
When I see you doin what I try to do for me

     Em
With the words from a poet and a voice from a choir

    C    D          Em
And a melody, nothin else mattered



          C             D
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

 Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

          C             D
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

 Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh



     Em        D         C       D      C
The clouds never expect it when it rains but the sea changes color

      D          C      D
But the sea does not change

 Em         D        C       D
So with the slow sad graceful glow of age

       C        D     C      D
I went forth with an age old desire to please

     C     D     C   D
On the edge of seventeen


Ooh............


          C             D
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

 Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

          C             D
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

 Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh



      C          D                  Em
Well then suddenly there was noone left standin in the hallway

           C         D              Em
Yeah Yeah, in a flood of tears that noone really ever heard fall at all

          C                D
Well I went searchin for an answer up the stairs and down the hall

 Em                              C     D
Not to find an answer but just to hear the call of a nightbird

      Em
Singin come away, come away, come away



          C             D
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

 Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

          C             D
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

 Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh



    Em           D      Em        D
Well I hear you in the mornin' and I hear you at nightfall

    Em          D     Em    D       C  D      Em
And sometimes to be near you is to be unable to hear you my love

          C      D      Em
Im a few years older than you my love


          C             D
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

 Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
