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

Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

Ooh Ooh Ooh

Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

And the days go by like a strand in the wind

In the web that is my own I begin again

Said to my friend, Baby, nothing else mattered

He was no more than a baby then

Well he seemed broken-hearted

Something within him

But the moment that I first laid eyes on him

All alone on the edge of seventeen

Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

Well I went today maybe I will go again tomorrow

And the music there well it was hauntingly familiar

When I see you doin what I try to do for me

With the words from a poet and a voice from a choir

And a melody, nothin else mattered

Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

The clouds never expect it when it rains but the sea changes color

But the sea does not change

So with the slow sad graceful glow of age

I went forth with an age old desire to please

On the edge of seventeen

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

Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

Well then suddenly there was noone left standin in the hallway

Yeah Yeah, in a flood of tears that noone really ever heard fall at all

Well I went searchin for an answer up the stairs and down the hall

Not to find an answer but just to hear the call of a nightbird

Singin come away, come away, come away

Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

Well I hear you in the mornin' and I hear you at nightfall

And sometimes to be near you is to be unable to hear you my love

Im a few years older than you my love

Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin

Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
