She Was
Ton : EEnglish
Am F Dm Em
AmWhen she was home she was a swan
FWhen she was out she was a tiger
DmAnd a tiger in the wild is not
Emtied to anyone
When she was lost, she was a toad
The day I found her on the road
I gave her water and a rose
And as she stretched
The sun rose
AmGo, Fgo, Dmgo, EmGo away, go away
Go, go, go, Go away, go away
When she was young
She was a cow
And all day Flong
She milked the stars
She taught me "Women to survive
Must be unfaithful to their child"
Of all the wonders of the world
She was a lady with a bird
She must have had so many lives
Was it the first?
Was it the last?
Go, go, go, Go away, go away
Go, go, go, Go away, go away
When she was ill she was a whale
She was so patient, she would wait
Until I sang her by the lane
The sweetest tunes to ease her pain
When she was old she was an owl
I saw her swaying in the sky
And when she died inside my arms
I realised she was a cat
Go, go, go, Go away, go away
Go, go, go, Go away, go away
Sometimes I wonder (go)
If my child (go)
Will have her eyes (go)
(Go away, go away)
To see through me (go)
And when I die (go)
And I am born again (go)
(Go away, go away)
What will I be (go)
A stone? (go)
A cat? (go)
A tree? (Go away, go away)
Go, go, go, Go away, go away
Go, go, go, Go away, go away
Go, go, go, Go away, go away
