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.

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

For soon the moment that we meet

Phantom trees that whisper down the street

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

Verse 3:

C#/F#/B* F#maj9

Fires at horizon's edge

C#/F#/B A#m7 D#9

Warm the soft breath of this pledge of ours

Bright stars that linger in their flight

Who will know the plans we share tonight

Reflect our message of love

* no, I don't know how to play it on one guitar either

Coda [repeat to fade]:

B/E/A

(Message of our love, they heed the message of our love, they heed...)

They heed the message
