[Intro]
Em
[Chorus]
C D
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she’s singin
Em
Ooh Ooh Ooh
C D
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she’s singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
[Verse]
C D
And the days go by like a strand in the wind
Em
In the web that is my own I begin again
C D Em
Said to my friend, Baby, nothing else mattered
C D Em
He was no more (he was no more) than a baby then
C D
Well he seemed broken-hearted
Em
Something within him
[Chorus]
C D Em
But the moment that I first laid eyes on him
C D Em
All alone on the edge of seventeen
[Chorus]
C D
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she’s singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
C D
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she’s singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
[Verse]
C D Em
Well I went today maybe I will go again tomorrow
C D Em
Yeah yeah, And the music there well it was hauntingly familiar
C D
When I see you doin what I try to do for me
Em
With the words from a poet and a voice from a choir
C D Em
And a melody, nothin else mattered
[Chorus]
C D
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she’s singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
C D
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she’s singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
[Bridge]
Em D C D C
The clouds never expect it when it rains but the sea changes color
D C D
But the sea does not change
Em D C D
So with the slow graceful glow of age
C D C D
I went forth with an age-old desire to please
C D C D
On the edge of seventeen
Em C D Em
Ooh…………
[Chorus]
C D
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she’s singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
C D
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she’s singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
[Verse]
C D Em
Well then suddenly there was no one left standin in the hall
C D Em
Yeah Yeah, in a flood of tears that no one really ever heard fall at all
C D
Well I went searchin for an answer up the stairs and down the hall
Em C D
Not to find an answer but just to hear the call of a nightbird
Em
Singin come away, (come away, come away)
[Chorus]
C D
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she’s singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
C D
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she’s singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
[Bridge]
Em D Em D
Well I hear you in the mornin’ and I hear you at nightfall
Em D Em D C D Em
And sometimes to be near you is to be unable to feel you my love
C D Em
I’m a few years older than you my love
[Chorus]
C D
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she’s singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
