E A E A E

[Verse 1]
                A
You gave me the first love
            E
That I ever knew
             A
And I folded open
                B
Like wings on a warm day

[Verse 2]
            A
No one ever tamed you
                  E
You made your own rules
               A
When you ran beside me
                 B
Your freedom was mine too

[Chorus]
           A                       B          E
I wish you everything peaceful and everything green
        A                        B    E
Growing lazy and tangled in your long hair
A                     B          E
Everything joyful and everything blue
      A                          B
Water crashing around your waist laughing
     E         A
When I give to you
                        B          E
Everything peaceful and everything green

[Verse 3]
                   A
When they tried to cage you
                  E
You ran even more wild
                A
Dark tide water splashing
                   B
Bright snow at the tree line

[Verse 4]
            A
I saw the aurora
                E
Reflect in your eye
                A
And fear melted in me
                    B
Like streams in the spring time

[Chorus]
           A                       B          E
I wish you everything peaceful and everything green
        A                        B    E
Growing lazy and tangled in your long hair
A                     B          E
Everything joyful and everything blue
      A                          B
Water crashing around your waist laughing
     E         A
When I give to you
                        B          E
Everything peaceful and everything green
A                       B          E
Everything peaceful and everything green

[Bridge]
          C     G           F                      C
I want to bring you all the numberless summers and sunrises
       Am   G           F
I want sing you all the songs I heard from you
Am
Stories I learned from you
F                                               E
Everything left in the world I can give back to you

[Verse 5]
                A
You gave me the first love
            E
That I ever knew
             A
And I folded open
                B
Like wings on a warm day

[Chorus]
           A                       B          E
I wish you everything peaceful and everything green
        A                        B    E
Growing lazy and tangled in your long hair
A                     B          E
Everything joyful and everything blue
      A                          B
Water crashing around your waist laughing

[Chorus]
           A                       B          E
I wish you everything peaceful and everything green
        A                        B    E
Growing lazy and tangled in your long hair
A                     B          E
Everything joyful and everything blue
      A                          B
Water crashing around your waist laughing

[Ending]
               A
When I give to you

I’ll give to you
B                                  E
Everything peaceful and everything green
A                       B          E
Everything peaceful and everything green
