in the recorded song, all these chords are synthed to bizarre 7th,
9th, 39th and 647th chords.  the chords used here are not dead on by
any means, but are about as close as you can get on a guitar without
raiding the chord books.  the relative pitch is right, its just the
absolute pitch that may be off a little.

G5 D5 C5               D5                 E5       C5
     it felt like springtime on this february morning
         G5                    D5            G5       D5
in the courtyard birds were singing your praise
C5           D5                  E5              C5
i'm still recalling things you said to make me feel
   G5                   D5
alright, i carry them with me today now

    chorus:

    G5    D5      C5       D5            G5          D5                C5
    as i lay me down to sleep, yes i pray, that you will hold me dear
    D5                 G5    D5       C5         D5         G5
    though i'm far away, i whisper your name, into the sky
        D5              C5      D5
    and i will wake up happy


G5           D5  C5           D5              E5             C5
i wonder why -- i feel so high, while i'm not above my sorrow
         G5              D5        G5
heavy hearted 'til you call my name
D5                   C5                  D5            E5
and it sounds like churchbells or the whistle of a train
               C5               G5                   D5
on a summer evening I want to meet you there, i'm barely breathing...

G5             D5       C5            D5                G5
it's not too near for me, like a flower i need the rain
                 D5      C5           D5              G5
though it's not real to me, every season has its change
           D5                C5
and i will see you when the sun comes out again
