{t:Bright Blue Rose}
{artist:Jimmy MacCarthy}


[D]I skimmed across black water
[G]Without once submerging
[D]Onto the banks of an urban [A]morning
[D]That hungers the first light,
[G]Much much more than the
[D]Mountains [A]ever [D]do.
[D]And she like a ghost beside me
[G]Goes down with the ease of a dolphin
[D]And emerges unl[A]earned, unshamed, unharmed
[D]For she is perfect creature
[G]Natural in every feature
And [D]I am the g[Bm]eek with the [A]alchemist’s [D]stone.


{soc}
[G]For all of [A]you who must dis[D]cover,
[G]For all who [A]seek to unders[Bm]tand,
[G]For having [A]left the path of [D]others
[C]You'll find a [G]very special [A]hand.
{eoc}


[D]And it is a holy thing, and
[G]It is a precious time
[D]And it is the only w[A]ay
[D]Forget-me-nots among the snow,
[G]It's always been and so it goes
[D]To ponder his [Bm]death and his [A]life eternall[D]y

[D]One bright blue rose outlives all those
[G]Two thousand years and still it goes
To [D]ponder his [Bm]death and his [A]life eternall[D]y
