Am F Dm E7
[Verse 1]
Am
When she was home she was a swan
F
When she was out she was a tiger
Dm E7
And a tiger in the wild is not tied to anyone
Am
When she was lost, she was a toad
F
The day I found her on the road
Dm
I gave her water and a rose
E7
And as she stretched
The sun rose
[Chorus]
Am F Dm
Go, go, go
E7
Go away, go away, go away
Am F Dm
Go, go, go
E7
Go away, go away
[Verse 2]
Am
When she was young
She was a cow
F
And all day long
She milked the stars
Dm
She taught me "Women to survive
E7
Must be unfaithful to their child"
Am
Of all the wonders of the world
F
She was a lady with a bird
Dm
She must have had so many lives
E7
Was it the first?
Was it the last?
[Chorus]
Am F Dm
Go, go, go
E7
Go away, go away, go away
Am F Dm
Go, go, go
E7
Go away, go away
[Verse 3]
Am
When she was ill she was a whale
F
She was so patient, she would wait
Dm
Until I sang her by the lane
E7
The sweetest tunes to ease her pain
Am
When she was old she was an owl
F
I saw her swaying in the sky
Dm
And when she died inside my arms
E7
I realised she was a cat
[Chorus]
Am F Dm
Go, go, go
E7
Go away, go away, go away
Am F Dm
Go, go, go
E7
Go away, go away
[Bridge]
Am
Sometimes I wonder (go)
F
If my child (go)
Dm
Will have her eyes (go)
E7
(Go away, go away)
Am
To see through me (go)
F
And when I die (go)
Dm
And I am born again (go)
E7
(Go away, go away)
Am
What will I be (go)
F
A stone? (go)
Dm
A cat? (go)
E7
A tree? (Go away, go away)
[Chorus] x3
Am F Dm
Go, go, go
E7
Go away, go away, go away
Am F Dm
Go, go, go
E7
Go away, go away, go away
