Bright Blue Rose Uke tab by Jimmy MacCarthy

C D F G 
[G] I skimmed across black water,
[C] without once sub-merging,
[G] Onto the banks of an urban [D] morning,
[G] That hungers the first light
[C] much, much more than
the [G] mountains [D] ever [G] do.
And [G] she like the ghost beside me,
[C] goes down with the ease of a dolphin,
[G] And emerges un-[D]learned, un-shamed un-[G]harmed,
For [G] she is the perfect creature,
[C] natural in every feature,
And [G] I am the geek with the [D] alchemist [G] stone.
For [C] all of [D] you must dis-[G]cover,
for [C] all who [D] seek to under-[G]stand,
For [C] having [D] left the path of [G] others,
[F] you'll find a [C] very special [D] hand.
And [G] it is a holy thing and [C] it is a precious time,
And [G] it is the only [D] way,
For-[G]get-me-nots among the snow,
it's [C] always been and so it goes,
To [G] ponder his death and his [D] life eternal-[G]ly.
One [G] bright blue rose out-lives all those,
two [C] thousand years and so it goes,
To [G] ponder his death and his [D] life eternal-[G]ly.
