  G                             C              G
I saw her in the morning as she flew in on the wind
                                  C              G
Sweeping down from the mountains, out across the plain
D                                  C
Flying in, my pure white dove, she landed in my hand
       G            C              G                   Em
She was giving me a message that I tried to understand
C       G           Em             G        D    G       C   G  C
She was giving me a message that I tried to understand

[Verse]
          G                                 C                 G
Well, her voice was pure and simple, though something sounded wrong
                                      C                 G
For my ears had grown accustomed to a different kind of song
                                        C
And as she brushed against my face, she looked me in the eye
        G              C                 G                      Em C
She said "Follow me my traveller, I will teach you how to fly"
 G            Em                G         D      G
"Follow me my traveller, I will teach you how to fly"

[Verse]
G                                    C                G
Fly on my precious bird of peace and show me what you must
                                C             G
Show me all those promises that crumbled into dust
     D                            C
I do not doubt your honesty, your gentle heart is pure
      G             C                 G                   Em C
But I weep for your innocence and the pain you must endure
  G             Em                G        D      G      C   G  C
I weep for your innocence and the pain you must endure

[Verse]
    G                               C               G
And as we flew across the land, she slowly lost her flight
                                     C               G
And the sun lay down in sympathy and gave way to the night
    D                             C
But guided by a distant star, she found the strength to fly
    G            C             G               Em  C
And leaving me behind her, she vanished in the sky
G            Em            G        D      G
Leaving me behind her, she vanished in the sky
