Intro]
[Bm] [G] [D] [x4]
[Verse 1]
[Bm]Running my hands on [G]twine for chord,
a [D]timorous glance from mine to yours
[Bm]"Make me a melody," [G]I muttered mousily
[D]
[Bm]Speak your prose with [G]none to please,
[D]weigh your elbows on my knees
[Bm]As uttered several [G]times before:
[D]"Rhyme with your truth, ne'er to
foreswore."
[Pre-Chorus]
[Bm] To be drawn to [G]you is a kindness[D]kindness,
[D]steadily strumming just to remind us
Spoken]
[Bm] Give me a word![G]word! [D]
[D]...perfect!
[Chorus]
[Bm]Hearken, [G]hearken for a[D]a while,
[Bm]Hearken, [G]hearken for a [D]while
We could [Bm]sway above the [G]meadows
as our [D]riddles rest beneath,
As our [Bm]verses hide [G]away,
we could [D]say, "Let it be."
[Verse 2]
[Bm] Does your heart, too, [G]whistle a
wonder?[D]wonder?
[D]If the past is wed with the future[Bm]future,
[Bm]is the now a [G]chance or a passage
[D]only to be walked upon?
[Bm] And if that is [G]what they are after,
[D]solely to foretell or to remember[Bm]remember,
[Bm]it is us who are [G]left above bedding,
[D]borrowing breaths, bothered not by an
ending
[Bm]Pa, la, la, la,
[G]Pa, la, la, la,
[D]Pa, la, la, la, la, la...
[Bridge]
For[Bm]Forget your [G]voice,
for[D]forget your mind
For [Bm]when they find a [G]way to wander,
[D]we will let it all
[Chorus]
[Bm]Hearken, [G]hearken for a[D]a while,
[Bm]Hearken, [G]hearken for a [D]while
We could [Bm]sway above the [G]meadows
as our [D]riddles rest beneath,
[Bm]I will listen, [G]I will listen,
[D]I will let it be
[N.C.]
I will-
[Bm]Pa, la, la, la,
[G]Pa, la, la, la,
[D]Pa, la, la, la...(2x)
[Bm]Pa, la, la, la, la, [G]la,
[G]La, la, la, [D]la
[D]La, la, la, la...
[Chorus]
[Bm]Hearken, [G]hearken,
[D]Hearken, hearken,
[Bm]Hearken, [G]hearken for a [D]while
We could [Bm]sway above the [G]meadows
as our [D]riddles rest beneath,
As our [Bm]verses hide [G]away,
we could [D]say, "Let it be..."
