Written By: Marc Bolan

Dm/Dm10…………….G6…..
My eyes went up it was sunrise
….Dm/Dm10….F…………Am..
The sky turned black it was noon
..Dm/Dm10……………G6…
A ship of the silverest metal
Dm/Dm10……F……….Am…
Shadowed out all of the moon

C10………….Dm….
Truly I do love you-oo
C10………….Dm….
Truly I do love you-oo

Dm/Dm10…………………G6…..
A shape that was golden and crimson
…Dm/Dm10….F……….Am…
Ex-tended a claw to my frame
..Dm/Dm10………………G6…
I sunk in the sand like an infant
..Dm/Dm10………F……….Am..
I screamed but my tongue was lame

C10………….Dm….
Truly I do love you-oo
C10………….Dm….
Truly I do love you-oo

Dm/Dm10………………….G6….
My heart on a platter they’d stolen
…Dm/Dm10……F…..Am…
My eyes were of firey flame
..Dm/Dm10……………….G6…….
A sound like a sweet dove I stuttered
………….Dm/Dm10…….F……Am..
And then the ship swam the skies again

C10………….Dm….
Truly I do love you-oo
C10………….Dm….
Truly I do love you-oo
C10………….Dm….
Truly I do love you-oo
C10………….Dm….
Truly I do love you-oo
