D Am F G

Time the greens (?) and pick up screams alone above the square,

Bb C Bb F

Whoa, sing softly

D Am F G

Above the trees where Billy breathes we float upon the air,

Bb C Eb Bb

Whoa, whoa (whoa)

F Dmi7 C Bb F Dmi7 Eb Bb

Softly sing sweet songs, Softly sing sweet songs,

F Dmi7 C Bb Am Gm Bb Am D

Softly sing sweet songs______, oooooooh

D Am F G

Silent scenes, emotion beams, I'll wake you when we're there,

Bb C Bb F

Whoa, sing softly

D Am F G

Time it seems in broken dreams to sleep beside the stair,

Bb C Eb Bb

Whoa, whoa (whoa)

F Dmi7 C Bb F Dmi7 Eb Bb

Softly sing sweet songs, Softly sing sweet songs,

F Dmi7 C Bb Am Gm C Bb

Softly sing sweet songs______, oooooooh

The theremin (or whatever it is) solo goes something like this:

Eb Bb F Cm Ab Bb Db Eb

Gb Db Ab Cm Ab Bb Db Eb

Then the chorus again:

F Dmi7 C Bb F Dmi7 Eb Bb

Softly sing sweet songs, Softly sing sweet songs,

F Dmi7 C Bb F Dmi7 Eb Bb

Softly sing sweet songs, Softly sing sweet songs,

F Dmi7 C Bb Am Gm C Bb Eb F D (loud)

Softly sing sweet songs______, oooooooh

Someone else figure out the guitar solo! I'm not sure I have the lyrics right here,

but the chords sound pretty good...
