palm mute through whole song, listen to song to get strumming right, light distortion/ overdrive effects

Just [C]like the white winged do[D]ve sings a song sounds like shes singin
[Em]Ooh Ooh Ooh
Just like the white [C]winged dove sings a song[D] sounds like shes singin
[Em]Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
And the [C]days go by like a strand[D] in the wind
In the web[Em] that is my own I begin again
[C]Said to my friend, Baby,[D] nothing else matter[Em]ed
[C]He was no more[D] than a bab[Em]y then
Well he [C]seemed broken-hearted   [D]
Something within h[Em]im
But the mom[C]ent that I first[D] laid e[Em]yes on him
All alone on the e[C]dge of[D] sevente[Em]en

Just like the white[C] winged dove sings a son[D]g sounds like shes singin
[Em]Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
Just like the white[C] winged dove sings a son[D]g sounds like shes singin
[Em]Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

Well I [C]went today maybe [D]I will go again tomorro[Em]w
And the mu[C]sic there well it was[D] hauntingly familia[Em]r
When I s[C]ee you doin what I try[D] to do for me
With the[Em] words from a poet and a voice from a choir
And a m[C]elody,[D] nothin else matter[Em]ed

Just like the white[C] winged dove sings a son[D]g sounds like shes singin
[Em]Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
Just like the white[C] winged dove sings a son[D]g sounds like shes singin
[Em]Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

The cloud[Em]s never expect [D]it when it rains[C] but the sea[D] changes c[C]olor
But the sea[D] does not change  [C]             [D]
[Em]So with the slow[D] sad graceful [C]glow of age [D]
I went forth[C] with an age o[D]ld desire[C] to please[D]
On the e[C]dge of s[D]eventeen [C]     [D]

Ooh............

Just like the white[C] winged dove sings a son[D]g sounds like shes singin
[Em]Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
Just like the white[C] winged dove sings a son[D]g sounds like shes singin
[Em]Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

Well then s[C]uddenly there was [D]noone left standin in the hallway [Em]
Yeah Yeah, in a floo[C]d of tears that n[D]oone really ever heard fall[Em] at all
Well I went search[C]in for an answer up the stairs[D] and down the hall
[Em]Not to find an answer but just to hear the call of a night[C]bird     [D]
Singin come[Em] away, come away, come away

Just like the white[C] winged dove sings a son[D]g sounds like shes singin
[Em]Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
Just like the white[C] winged dove sings a son[D]g sounds like shes singin
[Em]Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

Well I [Em]hear you in the morn[D]in' and I h[Em]ear you at nigh[D]tfall
And som[Em]etimes to be near [D]you is to[Em] be una[D]ble to hear y[C]ou[D] my love  [Em]
Im a few years old[C]er than you[D] my love  [Em]

Just like the white[C] winged dove sings a son[D]g sounds like shes singin
[Em]Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
