Biography:
June Tabor (born 31 December 1947 in Warwick, England) is considered one of the foremost English folk singers of her generation. Aside from her highly-acclaimed solo music career, she has also combined her talents with greats such as Maddy Prior (as one half of Silly Sisters), Martin Simpson, Elvis Costello and Oysterband. In 2004, and again in 2012, she was named Folk Singer of the Year at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. In 2011 the album "Ragged Kingdom" by June Tabor & Oysterband was named "Album of the Year" in the fROOTS critics poll.

June Tabor - Unicorns

INTRO: Am Dm (4x) Am
Dm
We were travelling north to sing and play
G Am
For friends that we had never met
Dm
Been working hard, we didn't speak
G Am
Skies of grey threatened wet
C G Dm
And I dreamed I saw unicorns
Am C
Dreamed I saw them wild and white
G
Their restless beauty lit the world
Dm Am Am7
Like a star will light a winter's night
A D A
Pure as love with manes of milk
D A
They danced and pranced and cried aloud
D A
Bright as rainbows round the stars
C G D A A7 Am7
Their eyes were soft and sad and proud
Am Dm
And I wept for the wild and dirty world
G Am
To which this beauty now was lost
Dm
And cursed the hungry mind of man
G Am C
That feeds the future at such cost
G Dm
My head was bowed, my eyes were closed
Am C
In my ears their voices rang
G Dm
These few words lodged deep inside
Am Am7
In my very soul they sang
A D A
"We never went away
D E A
You always knew that we were near
D A C
Remember how to look for us
G D A A7 Am7
You'll find we were always here"
INSTRUMENTAL: Am Dm G Am Dm G Am C G Dm Am C G Dm Am Am7
A D A D E A D A C G D A
Am Dm
I raised my eyes to seek them out
G Am
But the world was empty all around
Dm
The rain came tumbling from the sky
G Am C
It drowned all dreams upon the ground
G
And they asked me why I wept
Dm Am C
Like one who for his dead love mourns
G
The only answer I could give
Dm Am Am7 A7
I dreamed that there were unicorns
A D A
"We never went away
D E A
You always knew that we were near
D A C
Remember how to look for us
G D A C
You'll find we were always here
G D A
You'll find we were always here"
