Song To The Siren

John Frusciante


Tom: Bb

Bb             F
Long afloat on shipless oceans
 Eb           Gm
I did all my best to smile
 Bb                 F
til your stinging eyes and fingers
 Eb              Gm
Drew me loving to your isle

Bb
And you sang
Ab
Sail to me
Gm
Sail to me
         Bb
Let me enfold you
Gm
Here I am
         F
Here I am
          Eb     Gm
Waiting to hold you

Bb           F
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Eb                Gm
Were you hare when I was fox?
 Bb            F
Now my foolish boat is leaning
 Eb               Gm
Broken lovelorn on your rocks,

  Bb            Ab           Gm                         Bb
For you sing, touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow:
Gm                     F       Eb        Gm
O my heart, o my heart shies from the sorrow

Bb             F
I am puzzled as the newborn child
Eb             Gm
I am troubled as the tide:
Bb              F
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Eb                 Gm
Should I lie with death my bride?

Bb            Ab         Gm             Bb
Hear me sing, swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you:
Gm                    F           Eb   Gm
Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you
