There Is A Green Crown Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Incredible String Band
Cm
Not with the lips of skin nor yet with the lips of dark snow
But let the white dove sing
        Eb                                         Cm
Of the body of life of the lover whose love is complete
                                                     Bb  F
Hold hands out to greet, let not the swan be brought low


    Cm
For all that is moving, is moved by her hands
She is mirrored for ever in the life of the lands
In the building of thoughts in the shifting of sands

Cm
Life, life remembering

      Eb               
Well here you are now, O now you are here
                        Cm
Well how has it been so far?
The hair and the fur
                      Bb F
Lemons, frankincenses and myrrh

    Cm
For all that is moving is moved by her hands
She is mirrored for ever in the life of the lands
In the building of thoughts in the shifting of sands

Cm                       G#          G            Gm
Let the cracked crystal raindrop be merged in the sea
Fsus F  Fm Cm    F     Cm   G7
Silent shining thoughtless free
     Cm
But close your eyes to find the golden flower
And open them to see the sunshine shower
Where the flowers are free and the fishes ask ah, what can water be

Cm
She beareth thought, she beareth visions
Speaking truth in contradictions
Dreams of pain, dreams of laughter
And every action follows after

   F                                Cm
O second self, O gate of the soft mystery
      F                     Cm      
I'll love you if you'll love me,
    F                                  Cm 
O guide me With the gold of Gabriel's wing
                                            Bb F 
grant me the tongue that all the earth does sing

   Cm
Vibrating light forever one the sun
The book of life is open to us
There'll be no secrets left between us
