Echoes((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

Am/Ripples are echoes G/for those who can't hear
Am/thunder has lightning G/to tell them it's near

Em/The moon is an echo D/for no sun in the sky
Em/day is an echo D/for night, that is why

Am/Guitars make an echo,G/ when they are strum
Am/voices respond by G/ resounding the hum

Em/Shadows are echoes D/at NOON they’re in gloam
Em/but the word it reflects D/so its called palindrome

Am/Trains they make echoes G/in tunnels with *****
Am/and though it’s but one G/they call them two hoots

Em/A bell has an echo D/when ringing the news
Em/anvils have echoes D/when horses wear shoes

Am/Rainbows have echoes G/in pots at each end
Am/who was it that said that G/ light cannot bend

Em/A lighthouse when flashing D/is an echo in Morse
Em/for posh sailing boats D/and not Viking Norse

Am/A bow has an echo G/with a wow at the end
Am/one bark at midnight G/starts setting the trend

Em/A dream is an echo D/of what we once did
Em/but hid in a bottle D/behind Jeannie’s lid

Am/Words in the ether G/will never meet
Am/that’s why an echo G/can never cheat

Em/Your echo my echo D/are the saddest of all
Em/that’s why they listen D/at our wailing wall

                           Outro

Am/Heartbeats are echoes G/like yours and like mine
Am/that’s why this song is G/ending with PINE.  

Am/La La La La La  G/La La La La
Am/La La La La La  G/La La La La

Am/La La La La La  G/La La La La
Am/La La La La La  G/La La La La

                         Fading

Am/La La La La La  G/La La La La
Am/La La La La La  G/La La La La
