Verse 1:
She is the day that gives me time
To live and linger love my life
Till night comes on with sundown scythe
To end the pause of pantomime
[/] [/] She is the day of love

Verse 2:
She is the bridge on which I wait
To watch the river ‘neath me flow
All spinning, surging far below
Along the deep and bending straits
She is a bridge of love

Verse 3:
She is the air I breathe entranced
Awake or sleep in storm or calm
A wind to wash my lifted palm
A sky that calls me out to dance
She is the air of love

Bridge:
She is the day through which I walk
Toward the bridge where she stands
She is the air I breathe to sing
She is a smile without demands

Verse 4:
She is a smile that keeps me warm
With matchless laughter, eyes ablaze
A mischief mystery she plays
Upon the flute of early morn
She is a smile of love
She is the air of love
She is the day….of love

#This may not be exact, (it’s hard to transcribe a 12
#string guitar when you don’t have one) but it sounds okay.
#The actual is somewhere high up on the neck (I don’t
#feel like finding out where).
#
#If anyone knows what the lyric is that I have written as
#”More? see the people pass Lily”, please let me know.

#Introduction (spoken)
#
#If you’re ever in New York…(Is it a girl?)
#If you’re ever in New York, there’s not very
#many carnivals going on
#And that may not be much, but uh…
#If you’re used to a carnival every once in a while
#Then New York doesn’t have it
#Then you gotta write a carnival song
#But that don’t really make it either
#’Cause what’s a song without a carnival?

#Verse 1:
#
The song of [C/B]love is a [C/A]sad [C/G]song
For we have [C/B]loved and it’s so
So come and [C/B]laugh a while [C/A]Lily
Come and join the [Dm/C]show

Hi lily lily hi
Lo lily lily hi
Lo lily lily hi lo

C / / (x4)

Verse 2:

The circus comes once a year, Lily
Then we gotta go
So come and laugh a while Lily
Come and join the show
Come dancin’, dancin’ dance a while
Come dancin’, dancin’ dance a while
Come dancin’, dancin’ dance a while with me

Me me me me me me me
Me me me me me me
Me me me me me me me
Me me me me me me me ah…

Verse 3:

More? see the people pass Lily
Don’t mind what they say
Go on and be happy Lily
They’ll just pass away
Hi lily lily hi
Lo lily lily hi
Lo lily lily hi lo

Don’t let the Italian kids on your block make fun, Lily

(repeat first verse:)

(The) song of love is a sad song
We have loved and it’s so
So come and laugh a while Lily
Come and join the show

Hi lily hi lily
Hi lily lo

TIM BUCKLEY

Verse 1:
Just for you with your open hands
Waiting for the touch of man
[(G)]Clutching with your blackened gloves
You try to capture all the doves
That flee into
The forest before you

Verse 2:
You wish to catch and cage me now
I wonder if you remember how
Hard it was to say the names
Of mirror dreams and cheated games
And on the wall
You framed your first lover

Verse 3:
Your form intrigues me with the glow
I’ll remember you I know
Though I forgot to lock the chain
Around you with a prayer for rain
To bring the call
To drive you back into my bed

Ahhh….
She turns away
Telling me to follow for a while
Ahhh….
She waits

You’d be touched if you would touch
But you only reach and taunt
Will my taste stay grey and blue
If I try to turn from you

Listen to the song to find out how it goes.
The intro is just electric guitars over a G chord.
I could have tabbed it, but, oh well…

#
#Aren’t You The Girl
#(Tim Buckley)
#
#TIM BUCKLEY
#From Tim Buckley, 1966
#
#N.C.
#Aren’t you the girl who used to call me names?
#Aren’t you the girl who used to play at games?
Weren’t you the one who said she’d never fall?
Now you’re the one who’s cryin’ not so tall
Chorus:
Oh I know what it’s like
It’s happened many times to me
Oh do you ache inside
Do your eyes wanna cry?
Do you want me back again?
Verse 2:
Yes, you’re the one
Shall I throw you a crumb?
Shall I come and pass you by?
Would that make you wanna try?
Shall I come and kiss your lips?
Would that make your game slip?
Shall I come and dry your eyes?
Will that make you realize?
(chorus)
Verse 3:
Aren’t you the girl who used to call me names?
Aren’t you the girl who used to play at games?
Weren’t you the one who used to run and hide?
Now you’re the one who’s cryin’ way inside
(chorus)
(end cold on a D)

In case you didn’t notice, almost the entire song is G F C D.
