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

*chorus*

       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

*chorus*

         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............

*chorus*

           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

*chorus*

       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

*repeat chorus and fade*
