I [A] [E] don't mind confessing, many of the lines of this song were taken or stolen from Virginia
Woolf.
This song called Riding the Waves.
This is her verse.
[A] [E]
Eat your heart out, Luther
Van Gross.
She shook her head and I [Ab] saw jewels.
[A] I saw golden [B] trinkets hanging [A] there in quivering.
[E] And she told me, hey, I see the [Ab] sea.
Watch [A] how the creases form [B] and disappear.
We [A] saw
a new day forming.
[B] The sun had [A] risen now, and the [E] set, the fire was [B] burning.
[A] We got
the [B] feeling of riding the [E] waves.
[A]
[B] [E] And [B] light [E] struck upon the brooding [Ab] trees, making [A] one
leaf seem [B] transparent, and [A] then shimmering.
[E]
Then an arc of fire was burning [Ab] on the distant
[A] horizon.
[B]
And [A] we gazed in awe.
[B] The sun [A] had risen now, [E] and the set, the fire [B] was burning.
[A] We got [E] the feeling of riding the waves.

[B] [E] Then she whispered, look, the [Ab] honey-colored ball [A] is tilting its [B] way into [A] another morning.
[E]
Then she flicked the back of her neck [Ab] defiantly, and for [A] such gestures one [B] could fall hopelessly
[A] in love [E] for a lifetime.
