Edge Of Seventeen

Intro: Em

              C
Just like the white winged dove
        D
Sings a song sounds like she's singing
Em
Whoo, whoo, whoo
              C
Just like the white winged dove
        D
Sings a song sounds like she's singing
Em
Whoo, baby, whoo, said whoo


        C
And the days go by
       D
Like a string in the wind
       Em
In the web that is my own, I begin again
C                       D                   Em
Said to my friend baby,     nothing else matters


    C              D
But he was no more
       Em
Than a baby then
       C                      D
Well he seemed broked-hearted
             Em
Something within him
        C             D          Em
But the moment that I first laid eyes on him
             C          D        Em
All alone on the edge of   seventeen


              C
Just like the white winged dove
        D
Sings a song sounds like she's singing
Em
Whoo, whoo, whoo
              C
Just like the white winged dove
        D
Sings a song sounds like she's singing
Em
Whoo, baby, whoo, said whoo


C                   D                  Em
I went today, maybe I will go again tommorow
                   C
Yeah, yeah and the music there
      D              Em
It was hauntingly familiar
      C                    D
And I see you doing what I try to do for me
        Em
With the words of a poet
And the voice of a choir
        C       D                 Em
And the melody... nothing else matters


              C
Just like the white winged dove
        D
Sings a song sounds like she's singing
Em
Whoo, whoo, whoo
              C
Just like the white winged dove
        D
Sings a song sounds like she's singing
Em
Whoo, baby, whoo, said whoo


Em
The clouds never expect it when it rains
                    C
But the sea changes colors
                      Em
But the sea does not change
And so with the slow graceful flow of age
       C                     Em
I went forth with an age old desire to please
                  D    Em
On the edge of seven...teen


              C
Just like the white winged dove
        D
Sings a song sounds like she's singing
Em
Whoo, whoo, whoo
              C
Just like the white winged dove
        D
Sings a song sounds like she's singing
Em
Whoo, baby, whoo, said whoo [x7]
