D Bm7 D Bm7
VERSE:
D
Windy day in Honolulu
Bm7
Looking out beyond the hills
D
Memories and times of heartache
Bm7
Leis of lilies, daffodils
PRE-CHORUS:
G
Here I lighted like a bird
Em7
Upon the bright blue water's shore
G
With my hope and with my nightmares
A5 A
Praying I could swim and soar
CHORUS:
G
Dark dreams, haunted sunlit days
Bm7
While I drank down rum and hope
G A
Burning dreams and crimson lovers
G
Dancing on a thin tightrope
Bm7 G A5
Spellbound, spellbound, spellbound
VERSE:
D
Birds of paradise were walking
Bm7
As though they were angels’ songs
D
Bright wings flew along the beaches
Bm
In their shimmering sarongs
PRE-CHORUS:
G
And I thought when I would see them
Bm7
So content and so serene
G
How could I find that surrender?
Asus4 A
I could fly but I would scream
CHORUS:
Gmaj7
Fighting out of beauty's trance
Bm7
In the light of sand and water
G
Knowing I would crawl the highways
A G
Finding my own kind of slaughter
Bm7 G A
Spellbound, spellbound, spellbound
INSTRUMENTAL:
D Bm7 D Bm7
G Em7 G A
VERSE:
D
How I longed to sing the day
Bm7
Doing what I saw you do
D
How you lived and danced in light
Bm G
Yearning to know what life knew
PRE-CHORUS:
G
Whittled down, the drinking gone
Em7 G
To whimper towards the sight of land
G
Hungering to sail in water
A5 A
Bright with promise, deep in sand
CHORUS:
G
In these islands once I wept
Bm7
For the lost and for the found
G
Surfacing in air and light
A G
Now I live, and I am spellbound
Bm7 G A
Spellbound, spellbound, spellbound
D G D
Spellbound, (spellbound) spellbound, (spellbound) spellbound (spellbound)
G D
Spellbou-ou-ound
