	(4) INTRO - Guitar & Hi Hat


	(8) CHORUS 1
	                C                           D
	Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
	Em
	Ooh Ooh Ooh
	                C                           D
	Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
	Em
	Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
	
	
	(16) VERSE 1
	         C                       D
	And the days go by like a strand   in the wind 
	          Em
	In the web that is my own I begin again
	C                       D                   Em
	Said to my friend, Baby, nothing else mattered
	C             D          Em
	He was no more than a baby then
	        C                       D
	Well he seemed broken-hearted
	              Em
	Something within him
	
	
	(8) PRE CHORUS
	        C               D        Em
	But the moment that I first laid eyes on him
	                  C      D       Em                   
	All alone on the edge of   seventeen


	(8) CHORUS 2
	                C                           D
	Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
	Em
	Ooh Ooh Ooh
	                C                           D
	Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
	Em
	Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh


	(16) VERSE 2
	       C                D                      Em
	Well I went today maybe I will go again tomorrow
           C                    D                  Em
	And the music there well it was hauntingly familiar
	       C                     D       
	When I see you doin what I try to do for me
	        Em
	With the words from a poet and a voice from a choir
	       C     D                  Em
	And a melody, nothin else mattered


	(8) CHORUS 3
	                C                           D

	Em
	Ooh Ooh Ooh
	                C                           D
	Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
	Em
	Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

	         Em           D/E               C/E         D/E         C
	The clouds never expect it when it rains but the sea   changes color
	           D/C                 C          D/C
	But the sea does not change
	Em             D/E         C/E        D/E
	So with the slow graceful glow of age
	            C             D/C       C        D/C
	I went forth with an age old     desire to please
	        C       D/C        C   D/C
	On the edge of seventeen
