Song To The Siren by John Frusciante
CAPO ON THE THIRD FRET


G           D         
Long afloat on shipless oceans
C            Em
I did all my best to smile
G                D
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
C              Em
Drew me loving to your isle


G             F           Em                  G
And you sang, Sail to me, Sail to me, Let me unfold you
Em                    D          C    Em                  
Here I am, Here I am, Waiting to hold you


G           D
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
C                  Em
Were you here when i was full sail
G              D
Now my foolish boat is leaning 
C               Em
Broken lovelorn on your rocks,


G             F              Em                      G
For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow
Em                     D              C  Em
O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow" 


G            D
I am puzzled as the newborn child
C             Em
I am troubled at the tide
G              D
Should I stand amid the breakers?
C                 Em
Should I lie with Death my bride?


G             F            Em                 G
Hear me sing, "Swim to me, Swim to me, Let me unfold you
Em                    D          C    Em
Here I am, Here I am, Waiting to hold you"
