[Verse 1]
   Em 
Forget me not - those eyes of blue
C        G     Em                    C
  Was it real?   I never had a clue
Em    D   Em 
Quite pristine
               D Em    C
So many sights unseen
   Em  D    G        Em     C
Defenseless dumb and grim?

[Chorus]
Em       A               Em 
I didn't know what I was looking for
A                           Em       A 
But she knew What I'd never known before
              Em
She seemed so settled and so confident
                D       Em 
And I was lured by that scent
                                   A
Yet I was ready when she looked at me
                    Em 
Let it come, let it be

[Verse 2]
Em 
Moonlit pale like barley fields
C         G     Em                          C
  Teenage pulse  -  deranged strange dreams
          Em   A   Em
Oh I felt born a...new
           D  Em 
That nerve tattoo
          D  Em    C
She freed me and I flew

[Chorus]
          Em  
Without a mask and lost in greedy lips
A          Em          A
And I knew she was innocent
            Em                         A
She told me that she dreamed just like I did
        Em   D         Em      A 
When we ran  from that cliff
    Em                               A   
the head was open and smiled down at me
                    Em
Let it come, let it be
 
[Bridge]
C                     Em       A
  The deepest sense of wonder
Em                 G    
  The greatest mystery
Em                 A 
  Illusions ripped asunder
Em              G  Em  
  The greatest victory

Em     G  Em     G 
Starry    night
Em    G  Em            G
Moon     shine bright
Em          G 
Barleycorn
Em             G 
Moves to still
Em  D  Em     G  
Starry night
Em   D      Em       G
Moon  shine bright
Em         G
Brown sets low
       C           Em
In the barleycorn

[Outro]
                                     A
Yes I was ready when she looked that way
                  Em      G 
I was going there anyway
   Em         A
To an eternal war and borne away
              Em           G
She just read off the lips      
    Em                             A   
The head was up and smiled down on me
                    Em 
Let it come, let it be.
