The recording is capoed at the first fret:
actual is: D# C# G# F#
Listen to the song for the rhythm, because the chord changes
aren't precise. It's fairly simple, you'll be able figure most
of it out.
D
O I never asked to be your mountain
I never asked to fly
DRemember when you came to me
CAnd told me of his lies
You didn't understand my love
CYou don't know why I try
DAnd the rain was falling on that day
And damn the reason why
The Flying Pisces sails for time
CAnd tells me of my child
DWrapped in bitter tales and heartache
He begs for just a smile
DO he never asked to be her mountain
CHe never asked to fly
And through his eye he comes his love
CAnd tells her not to cry
D
She says, "Your scoundrel father flies
CWith a dancer called a queen
And with her stolen cards he plays
CAnd laughs, but never wins
DO the child dreams to be his hands
In the counting of the rain
DBut only barren breasts he feels
CFor her milk will never drain
G F
As I die I can't remember
Where I saw the rain
GCould it be that her laughter
FDrove me down again?
Charming dancer will you stop,
FStop and talk to me?
GIs there someone else you feel
In your dreams? you will, you see:
GIn midnight gazes
FI've found you far from me
If you lead me on
FPlease leave me down
G
O Flying Flying Fish
FPlease flutter by my door
Yes you can drink my lies
FIf first you read my eyes:
GEach one is titled
"I'm drowning back to you";
GI can't swim your waters
FAnd you can't walk my lands:
I'm sailing all my sins
FAnd I'm climbing all my fears
D C D CAnd soon now I'll fly
D
O I never asked to be your mountain
I never asked to fly
DRemember when you came to me
CAnd told me of his lies
You didn't understand my love
CYou don't know why I try
DAnd the rain was falling on that day
And that's the reason why
Sweet lover, will you come back
CAnd love me for a while?
DPlease take my hand
Leave all your fears behind
DI've been gone too long
CNow I'm home to stay
Please don't leave me
CAgain this way
D CDon't leave me again this way...
Sweet lover....O please...
C D C DO please....O please...please.... please come home...
CPlease come home...
etc., etc...
