Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
Em
Ooh Ooh Ooh
                    C                       d
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
        C                       d
And the days go by like a strand in the wind 
          Em
In the web that is my own I begin again
C                       d                   Em
Said to my friend, Baby, nothing else mattered
C             d          Em
He was no more than a baby then
        C                       d
Well he seemed broken-hearted
                  Em
Something within him
           C               d      Em
But the moment that I first laid eyes on him
                  C     d       Em                   
All alone on the edge of seventeen


                   C                       d
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
                   C                       d
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh


       C                d                      Em
Well I went today maybe I will go again tomorrow
          C                    d                  Em
And the music there well it was hauntingly familiar
        C                     d       
When I see you doin what I try to do for me
        Em
With the words from a poet and a voice from a choir
       C     d                  Em
And a melody, nothin else mattered


                   C                       d
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
                   C                       d
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh


         Em             d               C           d         C
The clouds never expect it when it rains but the sea changes color
           d                 C          d
But the sea does not change
Em              d             C           d
So with the slow sad graceful glow of age
            C             d        C         d
I went forth with an age old desire to please
        C       d        C   d
On the edge of seventeen

Ooh............


                   C                       d
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
                   C                       d
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh


           C                 d                                 Em      
Well then suddenly there was noone left standin in the hallway
                    C                d                          Em
Yeah Yeah, in a flood of tears that noone really ever heard fall at all
                  C                             d
Well I went searchin for an answer up the stairs and down the hall
Em                                                        C        d
Not to find an answer but just to hear the call of a nightbird
           Em
Singin come away, come away, come away


                   C                       d
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
                   C                       d
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh


       Em                  d          Em             d
Well I hear you in the mornin' and I hear you at nightfall
       Em                d        Em     d            C d         Em
And sometimes to be near you is to be unable to hear you my love
                  C          d         Em
Im a few years older than you my love

                   C                       d
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
