Intro F# F# B B A A C#m C#m  C#m C#m B B A A  C#m C#m  C#m C#m B B A A

D D Bm Bm
The leaded window opened to move the dancing candle flame
Em Em G G D D A A G G A A Bm Bm
And the first Moths of summer suicidal came, oh, suicidal came.
D D Bm Bm
And a new breeze chattered in its May-bud tenderness
Em Em Em7 Em7 A A G G A A Bm Bm
Sending water-lillies sailing as she turned to get undressed.
D D Bm Bm
And the long night awakened and we soared on powdered wings
Em Em G G D D A A
Circling our tomorrows in the wary month of Spring.
D D Bm Bm
Chasing shadows slipping in a magic lantern slide
Em Em A A G G A A Bm Bm
Creatures of the candle on a night-light-ride.
D D Bm Bm
Dipping and weaving - flutter through the golden needle's eye
Em Em G G D D A A
in our haystack madness. Butterfly-stroking on a Spring-tide high,
G G A A Bm Bm
oh, on a Spring-tide high.


C#m C#m C#m C#m B B A A C#m C#m C#m C#m B B A A

E E C#m C#m A A B B
Life's too long (as the Lemming said)
C#m C#m A# A# F# F# C# C# D#m D#m
as the candle burned and the Moths were wed.
A A B B E E B B C#m C#m
And we'll all burn together as the wick grows higher
B B F# F# C# C#
before the candle's dead.

D D Bm Bm
Em Em G G D D A A G G A A Bm Bm

F F Dm Dm
The leaded window opened to move the dancing candle flame.
Gm Gm A# A# F F C C A# A# C C Dm Dm
And the first moths of summer suicidal came, oh, suicidal game
F F Dm Dm
to join in the worship of the light that never dies
Gm Gm A# A# F F C C
in a moment's reflection of two moths spinning in her eyes.

E E C#m C#m C#m C#m B B A A C#m C#m C#m C#m B B A A C#m C#m
