Chorus 1:
              C
Just like the white winged dove...
        D
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Em
Whoo... whoo... whoo...
              C
Just like the white winged dove...
        D
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Em
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo


Verse 1:
        C
And the days go by...
       D
Like a strand in the wind...
       Em
In the web that is my own...
I begin again
C
Said to my friend, baby...
D              Em
  Nothin' else mattered
C             D          Em
He was no more... than a baby then
           C                    D
Well he... seemed broken hearted...
            Em
Something within him
        C                D
But the moment... that I first laid...
Em
Eyes... on... him... all alone...
       C      D         Em
On the edge of... seventeen


Chorus 2:
              C
Just like the white winged dove...
        D
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Em
Whoo...baby whoo...tell.
              C
Just like the white winged dove...
        D
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Em
Ooo baby... ooo... tell


Verse 2:
C
I went today... maybe 
D
I will go again...
  Em             C
Tomorrow And the music 
         D
there it was hauntingly...
  Em           C
Familiar And I see you doing...
       D
What I try to do for me
         Em
With the words from a poet...
And the voice from a choir
      C     D                Em
And a melody... nothing else mattered


(Repeat Chorus 2)


Bridge:
    Em
The clouds... never expect it...
When it rains
                    C
But the sea changes colours...
But the sea...
Does not change
    Em
And so... with the slow...

graceful flow...Of age
                            C
I went forth... with an age old...
Desire... to please
On the edge of... seventeen
