[Verse 1]
[G]You're lik[D]e a saint's son[Am]g to me[C]
I'll try [G]to sing [D]it [Am]pure and eas[C]ily
[G]You're lik[D]e a M[Am]exican blu[C]e
So [G]bright and [D]clear and pale
[Am]in the afternoon[C]

[Verse 2]
[G]I saw you[D] riding on [Am]your bik[C]e
In a [G]corduroy [D]jacket [Am]in th[C]e night
[G]Past the hydra[D]ngeas tha[Am]t
were blooming in the [C]alley
With a [G]galloping [D]dog by [Am]your [C]side

[Verse 3]
[G]When I was hun[D]gry you fed[Am] me[C]
I don't mean [G]to suggest
[D]that I'm lik[Am]e Jesus Chr[C]ist
[G]Your lig[D]ht overwhe[Am]lmed me[C]
When [G]I lay beside you
[D]sleepless [Am]in t[C]he night

[Verse 4]
[G]And when you[D] dreamed my guard
[Am]ian spirits [C]ap peared
And [G]the moon [D]stretched out
[Am]across your [D]litt[G]le bed
They said [D]they'd started to
[Am]get worried [C]about me
They were [G]happy we [D]had [Am]finally met,
we [C]had finally [G]met[D]
[Am][C][G][D]

[Verse 5]
[Am][C]
[G]A mysterious [D]bird fli[Am]es awa[C]y
[G]Seemed [D]to be calling [Am]your [C]name
And [G]bounced [D]off the top
[Am]of a towering [D]pine
An[G]d vanished i[D]n t[Am]he drizzling r[C]ain

[Verse 6]
[G]There's a mocking[D]bird
[Am]behind my [C]house
Who is a magi[G]cian of
[D]the [Am]highest [C]degree
[G]And I swe[D]ar I heard him[Am]
rip the [C]world apart
And sew [G]it back [D]again with his [Am]fiery melody,
[C]melody

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][Am][C][G][D][Am][C]

[Verse 7]
[G]When you wer[D]e mad at me [Am]I didn[C]'t care
[G]And I just lov[D]ed you all[Am] the[C] same
And [G]I waited [D]for the wind [Am]to
push the hur[C]ricane
Out [G]to sea,
and the [D]sun [Am]could shine [C]again[G]
Oh, [D]I don't mean

[Verse 8]
[Am]to give you ad v[C]ice[G]
It's just [D]like Delia [Am]said,
"Oh, Je[C]sus Christ"
[G]Just don[D]'t get so hig[Am]h
you [C]leave the ground
[G]Eve[D]rything is so muc[Am]h better
[C]when you[G]'re aro[D]und[Am][C]

[Verse 9]
[G]Just don[D]'t float so[Am]
high you [C]drift [G]away
Stand [D]tall, [Am]with your feet[C] on the ground
[G]I l[D]ove your songs,[Am]
I love [C]your [G]sound
[D]Everything is so [Am]much [C]better when you're
[G]aro[D]und
[Am][C][G][D]

[Verse 10]
[Am][C]
When [G]the moon is [D]as clear [Am]as an opal
[C]And the[G] ame[D]thyst river
sing[Am]s a [C]song
I'll [G]remember [D]all your dream
[Am]s and the my[C]steries
[G]You have borne in [D]your
[Am]crystalline [C]soul

[Verse 11]
That [G]you sing from [D]your [Am]golden [C]throat
That [G]you shine from [D]your
spark[Am]ling [C]eyes
That [G]you feel from [D]the goddess in [Am]your thigh[C]s,

[Interlude 2]
oh
[G][D][Am][C][G][D][Am][C][G]
You're [D]like a saint's song

[Verse 12]
[Am]to me[C]
I'll try [G]to sing [D]it [Am]pure and [C]easily
[G]You're lik[D]e a M[Am]exican blue
[C]So bri[G]ght and cle[D]ar and pale
[Am]in the afternoon
[C]In [G]the aft[D]ernoon
[Am]
