Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Shining On The Water
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
Oh father, come to the window
Look overF yonder Glake C
At the Fwondrous Ggolden city
Beyond the icy Cwake
In my short life we’ve passed this way
FTen times or Gmore C
And Fnever Gdid this city
Rise up on that far Cshore
[Chorus]
That’s theDm Sun Amson, Dm7shining on the Fwater
It’s Gnot Cairo, New York or Rome
And just aDm matter of Amhours beFfore you see your mama
GWaiting for you back at home C
[Verse 2]
Big buildings at it’s centre
Stand aFblaze with Glight C
While Flesser Gspires around these
Entrap the beams in Cflight
Oh look now, I see people
With faces Fsmall and Gfine C
And Fin their Gmidst just staring
A boy’s face like Cmine
[Chorus]
That’s theDm Sun Amson, Dm7shining on the Fwater
It’s Gnot Cairo, New York or Rome
And just aDm matter of Amhours beFfore you see your mama
GWaiting for you back at home
[Instrumental]
Dm Am F G Dm Am F G C
[Verse 3]
The Sun was shrinking ’cause night was falling
And the boy went Foff to Gsleep C
His Fwondrous Gcity vanished
Into the icy Cdeep
The Moon was rising ’cause night had fallen
And all was Fas beGfore
As we Cmade our Fway past the Gcountless pines
On the cold lake’s northern Cshore
[Chorus]
That’s theDm Sun Amson, Dm7shining on the Fwater
It’s Gnot Cairo, New York or Rome
And just aDm matter of Amhours beFfore you see your mama
GWaiting for you back at home
[Chorus]
That’s theDm Sun Amson, Dm7shining on the Fwater
It’s Gnot Cairo, New York or Rome
And just aDm matter of Amhours beFfore you see your mama
GWaiting for you back at Chome
