The Bride Cifras

[Intro]
G C G
 
[Verse 1]
                           C
Come and sing me something pretty
                         G   C G
That'll go well with the day
                      D      D7
And the many flashing colors
                      G   C G
Of your halo's fine array
 
[Verse 2]
                       C
Or make your melody as pleasing
                        G    C G
As the one that's in my mind
                     D     D7
The bride is getting ready
                      G    C G
So we've got a little time
 
[Verse 3]
                        C
Come and sing me of the morning
                           G      C G
And read my fortune in the leaves
                              D   D7
And help me build a bower for her
                   G     C G
At an altar in the trees
 
[Verse 4]
                             C
But let us save our best for evening
                           G     C G
Our silver caps and wonder plain
                     D     D7
The bride is getting ready
                         G    C G
Still it's early all the same
 
[Verse 5]
                        C
Come and sing me of the sun god
                       G     C G
The shining chariot he rides
                            D        D7
And of his brave and bold expression
                             G    C G
That is the wake of maidens' eyes
 
[Verse 6]
                          C
Fairer still, though, is another
                               G    C G
And you will know my words are true
                     D     D7
The bride is getting ready
                         G    C G
And she'll be ready very soon

[Verse 7]
                           C
Come and sing me where the waves break
                      G     C G
Come and sing me of a bride
                           D     D7
Alive and living in a wild place
                                  G    C G
Where no-one knows just where she hides
 
[Verse 8]
                     C
Until come the quiet evening
                                  G    C G
When even the tired will heed her call
                     D     D7
The bride is getting ready
                       G    C Gmaj7
I can see her down the hall
 
[Verse 9]
                             C
And now the bride is finally ready
                          G     C G
And she's coming down the aisle
                        D      D7
With her swallow-tailed nobles
                          G    C G
Her ivory cape and silver eyes
 
[Verse 10]
                            C
Her ancient glamour and her silence
                        G    C G
Her mistletoe and silhouette
                    D     D7
The bride is at the altar
                        G      C G
And the world holds its breath
