C              G 
Good Doctor Brian 
             C 
He fell in love 
                 G 
With the purple seas 
                   C 
Of such rose and silk 


                  Am 
But in what got drove 
        C 
Away, away 
                   G 
Like the soaring ghost 
                     C 
All the white dove sees 


                 G 
One night he begged 
                C 
She’d be his bride 
               C 
But she said ‘no’ 
            G 
It cannot wait 


            Am 
Just like gulls 
                    C 
With their hungry tries 
             G 
I love you less 
                   C 
Than the one got tied 


             F 
Out he did grew 
                C 
Oh such cruel words 
                  G 
And although this is 
         Am 
A shiny cell 


            C 
He took a rock 
               G 
And threw it high 
             G 
And hawk a gull 
                     C 
From the wine dark sand 


Bridge : 
G C G C Am C G C 


            G 
In twilet dust 
               C 
In a blacky witch 
              F 
The doctor burned 
                C 
Warm wood and pitch 
             Am 
And with a fist 
                 C 
Will bring your dirt 
               G 
Deep in the night 
                    C 
For that one girl heart 


               F 
And then she came 
                    C 
With those rosy sleeves 
               G 
To touch his hands 
                    Am 
With such a wilder kiss 


                C 
His black top hat 
                   G 
To the breeze it went 
                   G 
And his flapping arms 
               C 
Grew feather plan 


                 G 
His face is stretched 
                 C 
To a sharpened way 
                 F 
And now he’s strange 
                        C 
To feel the wild dark wind 
             Am 
But all he found 
                 C 
And thought to find 
              G 
Those rosy sleeves 
                  C 
Held them oh so tight
