Black Orchid Chords by Stevie Wonder

_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Gb] _ _
[Ab] I [Gb] think of snow within a storm, [Ab] a new way waiting to be born, [Gb] in a [Dbm] world with need for [B] change. _
_ _ [Gb] Touch of love and fear of hate, [Ab] a rushing wind [Bm] that's asked to wait [E] for the [Gb] promises
of [B] rain, a [Ab] pearl of wisdom [Db] _
[B] entrapped by poverty.
[Gb] _ _ _ She gives love with purity, [Ab] filling minds with hopeful schemes [Bb] to build worlds enhanced by [B] peace.
_ _ _ [Gb] Draped in sparkling morning dew, [Ab] she expresses a life anew [Gb] from the [Dbm] earth beneath [B] her feet.
_ She [Ab] _
is a flower [Db] that grows, [B] love of her [Ab] love takes, she's feminine, [Db] that's she.
[Gb] Black Orchid, Black Orchid, [Gbm] why did they make [Bbm] you vegan?
[Abm] When they know each [E] time you'll find your truth [Db] before your [Gb] psycho ends.
Black Orchid, Black Orchid, [Bb] why are you [Eb] crying their fears [Abm] when the true reflection [E] of you
that they [Db] see is not perceived [Gb] by ears?
[Ab] _ _
[Gb] _ _ [Ab] _ [Gb] She has touched the farthest [Bm] star, her beauty speaks of what we [Gb] are, and in her breath [Bb] it
[B] amazes us free.
_ _ [Gb] And now is in eternity, [Bm] infinite to all that see, [Gb] and her [Dbm] dreams have been [B] achieved.
_ _ _ [Ab] Now there is a sound of [Db] laughter, [B] nature sings out her [Ab] name, for the world to know her fame.
[Eb] _ [Ab] Black Orchid, Black Orchid, why did they [Cm] criticize [Bbm] when they knew your love [Gb] was captive still
[Eb] and consecrate their [Ab] eyes?
Black Orchid, Black Orchid, why do you linger [Cm] in space [Bbm] when you know in every [Gb] heart that beats [Eb] you hold a special [Ab] place?
[Bbm] When you know in every heart that beats you hold a special [Ab] place.
