[Intro]
C F
F7 Bbsus4

[Verse]
              Fm                 C9
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Fm           Cmaj7                 Bb9
Traveling through all these highs and lows
                                F
I heard there was no sickness
Ab                    Bb
And no toil or danger
                         F
Just mercy and plenty
                                  Fm
Where peaceful waters flow
                            C9
Where peaceful waters flow

[Interlude]
C     F
F7 Bbsus4

[Verse]
                    Fm                    C9
Come all you fair and tender school girls
Fm            Cmaj7                 Bb9
Be careful now--when you court young men
                        F
They are like the stars
Ab                 Bb
On a summer morning
                               F
They sparkle up the night
                  Fm
And they're gone again
                  C9
Daybreak--gone again

[Interlude]
C F
F7 Bbsus4

[Verse]
                 Fm                                         C9
If I'd only seen through the silky veils of ardor
Fm                  Cmaj7           Bb9
What a killing crime this love can be
                                        F
I would have locked up my heart
Ab                            Bb
In a golden sheath of armor
                              F
And kept its crazy beating
                         Fm
Under strictest secrecy
              C9
High security

[Interlude]
C     F
F7 Bbsus4

[Verse]
                         Fm
I wish I had the wings
                                C9
Of Noah's pretty little white dove
                 Fm               Cmaj7
So I could fly this raging river
        Bb9
To reach the one I love
                    F
But I have no wings
Ab                        Bb
And the water is so wide
                                      F
We'll have to row a little harder
                 Fm
It's just in dreams we fly
           C9
In my dreams we fly!
