Subject: CRD: Silver Springs by Fleetwood Mac
 
Beautiful song to an ex-lover, I believe written by Stevie Nicks in
response to Lindsey Buckingham's "Go Your Own Way" after they separated,
but were still performing together in 1976. I read somewhere that it was
the B side of that single, but never on an album until "The Dance."
 
 
Silver Springs (Stevie Nicks)
 
As performed live by Fleetwood Mac on "The Dance"

Intro: F  C  F  C
 
C               F      C
You could be my silver spring
C          F      C
Blue-green colors flashing
C               F    C
I would be your only dream
C                 F     C
Your shining over ocean crashing
 
Am#5
And do you say she's pretty
And do you say that she loved you
             F       C
Baby I don't want to know
 
C                 F    C
So I begin not to love you
C            F      C
Turn 'round, see me running
C                 F     C
I say I loved you years ago
C                   F       C      Am#5
But tell myself you never loved me no
 
Am#5
And did you say that she's pretty
And do you say that she loved you
             F       C
Baby I don't want to know
 
C  Am#5  C
 
Am#5  C
Oh    no
 
Am#5
And can you tell me it was worth it
               F       C
Really I don't want to know
 
Am          Bm       C
Time cast a spell on you
    F            G
But you won't forget me
  Am     Bm         C
I know I could have loved you
    F             G
But you would not let me
 
Solo over

I know I could have loved you
    F             G
But you would not let me
 
     Am         Bm             C
I'll follow you down 'till the sound
      F          G
Of my voice will haunt you (Was I just a fool?)
       Am        Bm            C
You'll never get away from the sound
