[Verse 1]
                C         D        G
I'll give to you a box of visions
                   C      D       G
I'll give to you a jar of hearts
                     C       D 
I'll lend to you the gypsy's ear
   C        D      G
To hear the sacred harp

 
[Verse 2]
                   C        D        G
I'll give to you a house of mirrors
                        C       D    G
A thousand eyes, they belong to you
               C    D 
A labyrinth of wild roses
  C                     D       G
I know you'll find your own way through


[Chorus]
       D         C           G
Wait a while and you'll grow older
      D             Am        D    G
Never mind what the old folks say
             D     C       G
Just keep an angel on your shoulder
                     C       D
And never throw your dreams away
    C                    D        G
For they might save your life one day


[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
              C         D        G
A song is just a box of visions
                    C          D  G
you can's unlock it with a key
                   C         D 
A message rolled up inside a bottle
    C                D      G
And dropped into the stormy sea


[Verse 4]
                 C      D        G
A song is just a box of visions
                      C       D    G
A jar of hearts and a gypsy's ear
               C    D
A labyrinth of wild roses
   C                 D        G
A journey though the house of mirrors


[Chorus]
       D         C           G
Wait a while and you'll grow stronger
      D             Am        D    G
Never mind what the sad folks say
             D     C       G
Just keep an angel on your shoulder
                     C       D
And never throw your dreams away
    C                    D        G
For they might save your life one day


[Verse 5]
                C         D        G
I'll give to you a box of visions
                   C      D       G
I'll give to you a jar of hearts
                     C       D 
I'll lend to you the gypsy's ear
   C        D      G
To hear the sacred harp
