She Rises Like The Dolphin

INTRO: Am    F  C  Dm  C  G  C

    Dm                              G
She rises like the dolphin with the sea wind in her eyes
    F                               A                        Dm
The sunlight casting shadows like a painter's palette knife
                              C                      G
Her hair fans out around her, floating like a crown
                                            C
She plays on the water and lets it pull her down


F                                         C                 Dm
Sometimes she swims in moonlight with the stars high above
                                               E7     Am
The night sounds of the water speaking soft of love
                                F                C      Dm
Her skin turns to velvet as she feels the waters glide
                  C                  G            C      Dm  C  G  C
She loses all her boundaries on this magic carpet ride


        Dm                       G                        F
You see ripples on the water and watch the shadows dance
                                  A                        Dm
Then she's diving down and you're looking through a glass
                            C                     G
Like a one-way mirror her reflection's far below
                                                    C
Where she was, she isn't now, that's all you really know


    F                             C                    Dm
Two swimmers in the water, one of silver, one of gold
                                          E7     Am
One below the surface, one reaching for a hold
                         F             C      Dm
One floating freely, one trying not to drown
                   C        G             C
A dreamer with two faces, a dolphin and a clown


INSTRUMENTAL: F  C  Dm  E7  Am  F  C  Dm  C  G     C


Dm                           G                  F
If you think you'll hold her in a shallow pool
                                    A                     Dm
Or catch her in a waterfall, you're thinking like a fool
                                     C                G
She'll strike for the horizon like a ship out to sea
                                          C
Leaving just illusions that look like memories


              F                    C                          Dm
She wears the water like a mask, a brand new suit of clothes
                                         E7     Am
A player on the stage, an actress no one knows
                         F              C      Dm
See her roll and tumble, falling like a clown
                 C           G                C
A swimmer in the water, that runs from higher ground
