[Verse 1]
     C/G              Fmaj7/C       C/G       Fmaj7/C
Your smile beams like sunlight on a gull's wing,
        C/G              Fmaj7/C    C/G    Fmaj7/C
And the leaves dance and play after you,
        C/G      Fmaj7/C                C/G   Fmaj7/C
Take my hand and hold it as you would a flower,
                  C/G         Fmaj7/C
Take care with my heart,  oh, darling,
              C/G     Fmaj7/C
She's made of glass

[Verse 2]
     C/G            Fmaj7/C         C/G    Fmaj7/C
Your eyes feel like silence resting on me,
        C/G            Fmaj7/C       C/G   Fmaj7/C
And the birds cease to sing when you rise,
     C/G             Fmaj7/C           C/G    Fmaj7/C
Ride easy your fairy stallion you have mounted,
                  C/G     Fmaj7/C
Take care how you fly, my precious,
               C/G     Fmaj7/C
You might fall down

[Verse 3]
       C/G                 Fmaj7/C    C/G     Fmaj7/C
In the pastel skies of sun-set I have wandered,
        C/G               Fmaj7/C
With my eyes and ears and heart...
                C/G    Fmaj7/C
Strained to the full,
  C/G               Fmaj7/C        C/G     Fmaj7/C
I know I tasted the essence in the few days,
                  C/G      Fmaj7/C
Take care who you love, my precious,
                C/G    Fmaj7/C
He ...might not know

Great Tab: just one small point, in verse 1 line 1 of the lyrics it's "sunlight" rather than "sunset"
