Allan Taylor - The Kiss Chords

[Intro]
D
G  A  G  A  D

[Verse]
          G               C  D
Among thy fancies tell me this__
            G               C  A       D
What is the thing we call a kiss__?
          G                C  D
I shall resolve ye what it is___

[Verse]
        G                 C  D
It is a creature born and bred__
            G                C  A      D
Between the lips, all cherry-red___
            G            C  D      G
By love and warm desires fed___
               C               A  D
And makes more soft the bridal bed___

[Verse]
         G                 C  D
It is an active flame that flies
             G             C  A      D
First to the babies of the eyes__
                G               C  D      G
And charms them there with lullabies__
               C                   A  D
And stills the bride too, when she cries__

[Verse]
            G                    C  D
Then to the chin, the cheek, the ear___
              G                    C  A      D
It frisks and flies, now here, now there
             G                  C  D      G
'Tis now far off, and then 'tis near__
             C               A  D
And here and there, and everywhere

[Instrumental]
G  A  G  A  D

[Verse]
         G                C  D
Has it a speaking virtue? Yes___
               G               C  A      D
How speaks it, say? Do you but this__
          G                 C           D      G
Part your joined lips, then speaks your kiss
                C                 A  D
And this love's sweetest language is____

[Verse]
         G              C  D
Has it a body? Aye, and wings__
              G            C  A      D
With thousand rare encolourings__
          G                C  D       G
And as it flies, it gently sings__
           C                 A  D
Love honey yields, but never stings

[Outro]
G  A  G  A  D
