Message Of Our Love

                        (Curt Boettcher - Tandyn Almer)

Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master
Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):

  Great poetic images, with unique harmonic structure, shows another side
  of our talented producer, Curt Boettcher.  One of our first attempts at
  double tracking vocals.


Intro:

        B/E/A [x02442]
        (Message of our love, they heed the message of our love, they heed...)

Verse 1:

        B/E/A           Emaj9
        Wind escorts the day outside
        B/E/A                  G#m7        C#9
        Clouds of sheep's wool lionize the moon
           F#maj9           F#6     G#m9  C#9
        For soon the moment that we meet
                F#maj9             F#6       G#m9  C#9
        Phantom trees that whisper down the street
        A#m7       D#m7      D#9
        Relay our message of love

Verse 2:

        Night, what mysteries will it bring
        Who can tell when Spring becomes of age
        One page of letters bound foretells
        Of the sorrow that your kiss dispels
        And holds our message of love

Verse 3:

        C#/F#/B* F#maj9
        Fires at horizon's edge
        C#/F#/B             A#m7               D#9
        Warm the soft breath of this pledge of ours
               G#maj9           G#6       A#m9    D#9
        Bright stars that linger in their flight
                G#maj9              G#6     A#m9    D#9
        Who will know the plans we share tonight
        Cm7          Fm7        F9
        Reflect our message of love

        * no, I don't know how to play it on one guitar either

Coda [repeat to fade]:

         B/E/A
        (Message of our love, they heed the message of our love, they heed...)
                      Emaj9
        They heed the message
