Ooh Ooh Ooh
C5 D5
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
E5
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
C5 D5
And the days go by like a strand in the wind
E5
In the web that is my own I begin again
C5 D5 E5
Said to my friend, Baby, nothing else mattered
C5 D5 E5
He was no more than a baby then
C5 D5
Well he seemed broken-hearted
E5
Something within him
C5 D5 E5
But the moment that I first laid eyes on him
C5 D5 E5
All alone on the edge of seventeen
C5 D5
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
E5
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
C5 D5
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
E5
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
C5 D5 E5
Well I went today maybe I will go again tomorrow
C5 D5 E5
And the music there well it was hauntingly familiar
C5 D5
When I see you doin what I try to do for me
E5
With the words from a poet and a voice from a choir
C5 D5 E5
And a melody, nothin else mattered
C5 D5
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
E5
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
C5 D5
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
E5
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
E5 D5 C5 D5 C5
The clouds never expect it when it rains but the sea changes color
D5 C5 D5
But the sea does not change
E5 D5 C5 D5
So with the slow sad graceful glow of age
C5 D5 C5 D5
I went forth with an age old desire to please
C5 D5 C5 D5
On the edge of seventeen
Ooh............
C5 D5
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
E5
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
C5 D5
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
E5
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
C5 D5 E5
Well then suddenly there was noone left standin in the hallway
C5 D5 E5
Yeah Yeah, in a flood of tears that noone really ever heard fall at all
C5 D5
Well I went searchin for an answer up the stairs and down the hall
E5 C5 D5
Not to find an answer but just to hear the call of a nightbird
E5
Singin come away, come away, come away
C5 D5
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
E5
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
C5 D5
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
E5
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
E5 D5 E5 D5
Well I hear you in the mornin' and I hear you at nightfall
E5 D5 E5 D5 C5 D5 E5
And sometimes to be near you is to be unable to hear you my love
C5 D5 E5
Im a few years older than you my love
C5 D5
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
E5
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
