Strum
D-DU-UDU
In  his boat and through the dark  he rowed
Chained  to oar and the night  and the wind that blowed
Horribly  ‘round his ears
 Under the bridge and into your dreams he soars
 While you lie alone in that idea-free sleep of yours
 That you’ve been sleeping now for years
And  he wants you
He  wants you
He  is straight and he is  true
Ooh  hoo hoo
 same chords as first verse):
 Beneath the hanging cliffs and under the many stars where
 He will move, all amongst your tangled hair
 And deep into the sea
 And you will wake and walk and draw the blind
 And feel some presence there behind
 And turn to see what that may be
 Oh, babe, it’s me
 And he wants you
 He wants you
 He is straight and he is true
 Ooh hoo hoo
