Song : B
Intro :
Am F Dm E7
Am F Dm E7
Am
When she was home she was a swan
F
when she was out she was a tiger
Dm E7
and a tiger in the wild is not tied to anyone
Am
when she was lost she was a toad
F
the day I found her on the road
Dm
I gave her water and a rose
E7
and as she stretched the sun rose
Am F Dm E7
go go Go go away go away
Am F Dm E7
go go Go go away go away
Am
when she was young she was a cow
F
and all day long she milked the stars
Dm
she taught me women to survive
E7
must be unfaithful to their child
Am
of all the wonders of the world
F
she was a lady with a bird
Dm
she must have had so many lives
E7
was it the first ? was it the last?
Am F Dm E7
go go Go go away go away
Am F Dm E7
go go Go go away go away
Am
when she was ill she was a whale
F
she was so patient she would wait
Dm
until I sang her by the lane
E7
the sweetest tunes to ease her pain
Am
when she was old she was an owl
F
I saw her swaying in the sky
Dm
and when she died inside my arms
E7
I realised she was a cat
Am F Dm E7
go go Go go away go away
Am F Dm E7
go go Go go away go away
Am
sometimes I wonder Go
F
if my child Go
Dm
will have her eyes Go
E7
Go away go away
Am
to see through me Go
F
and when I die Go
Dm
and I am born again Go
E7
Go away go away
Am
what will I be Go
F
a stone ? Go
Dm
a cat ? Go
E7
a tree ?
Go away go away
ad lib.
Am F Dm E7
go go Go go away go away
Am F Dm E7
go go Go go away go away
