"Message Of Our Love"
(Curt Boettcher - Tandyn Almer)
Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master
Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):
Great poetic images, with unique harmonic structure, shows another side
of our talented producer, Curt Boettcher. One of our first attempts at
double tracking vocals.
Intro:
B/E/A [x02442]
(Message of our love, they heed the message of our love, they heed...)
Verse 1:
B/E/A Emaj9
Wind escorts the day outside
B/E/A G#m7 C#9
Clouds of sheep's wool lionize the moon
F#maj9 F#6 G#m9 C#9
For soon the moment that we meet
F#maj9 F#6 G#m9 C#9
Phantom trees that whisper down the street
A#m7 D#m7 D#9
Relay our message of love
Verse 2:
Night, what mysteries will it bring
Who can tell when Spring becomes of age
One page of letters bound foretells
Of the sorrow that your kiss dispels
And holds our message of love
