Took It For A Twinkle Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
They dream [Em]impossible dreams of lo
[G]quat seeds (gold flecked and slippery),
And [Em]clipper ships pitched
on sea foam green,
Hibis[G]cus reds and you and me.

[Verse 2]
[Em]We kicked a new path back to the St. Marie
[G]past snowmen quiet and listening.
[Em]Brightly colored birds flitted past their coal-
for- eyes. [G]I took it f[C]or a twinkle.

[Verse 3]
[Em]If they could have h[G]eld all that you said
In their [C]densely mitten packed cold,
Then [Am]words would have fallen out come
Spring like [G]spoons and pistols
And pots and pans
And train [C]wrecks and

[Verse 4]
splitshots and marching bands.
[C]
[G]And ca[C]naries light on corncob pipes
And [G]would not look so bright

[Interlude 1]
If not so cold.
[A][Em]

[Verse 5]
They dream [Em]impossible dreams
Of bitter [G]sweet brevity
[Em]And standing at the foot of Niagara Falls
And buck [G]and doe
And chief and squaw
And the [Em]path we kicked back to
St. Marie [G]past snowmen,
Quiet and listening.
Ca[Em]naries tracing loopholes
against the gray,
[G]You took it for a tangle.
[C]You took me for a tangle.
[Em]If they could have h[G]eld all

[Interlude 2]
that you said
[G][C][Am][G][C]
[G]

[Verse 6]
Ca[C]naries light on corncob pipes
And [G]would not look so bright

[Outro 1]
If not so cold.
[A]
