Am C
G C x4
[Verse 1]
G C
Take the chip of a star and you hit it with an iron bar
G C
And when its broken in two - you've made the eyes for you
G C
Take the song from a bird and you turn it to words
G C
And when you're through - you've found a voice for you
Am C
Like a song on the wind - My beautiful friend
G C x2
[Verse 2]
G C
Take the coat of a tree - Autumn's fallen leaves
G C
Weave them gold and fair - and that is your hair
G C
Take the pale of the moon, dip into it with a spoon
G C
Touch the earth again and that is your skin
Am C
Come to me again - My beautiful friend
G C x2
[Bridge]
Am C
For you were born when the world first turned
Am G
The flames flickered and the first fires burned
Am C
You are the phoenix and the heavens clear
Am C
Let you be mine and I'll call you dear
G C x3
Am C x2
G C x2
[Verse 3]
G C
Take the clouds from the sky and the sun shone bright
G C
Shape them with a file and that is your smile
G C
Take the heat of the earth when the mountains burst
G C
Put it in a mold and your heart you'll hold
Am C
Like a song on the wind - my beautiful friend
Am C
Together to the end, My beautiful friend
