Edge Of Seventeen chords

Em

                C                       D
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she's singin
Em
Ooh Ooh Ooh
                C                       D
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she's singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

        C                 D
And the days go by like a strand in the wind 
       Em
In the web that is my own I begin again
C                    D                Em
Said to my friend, Baby, nothing else mattered
C                         D            Em
He was no more (he was no more) than a baby then
        C                       D
Well he   seemed broken-hearted
              Em
Something within him

        C             D          Em
But the moment that I first laid eyes on him
             C           D       Em                   
All alone on the edge of    seventeen

                C                       D
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she's singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
                C                       D
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she's singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

       C                D                 Em
Well I went today maybe I will go again tomorrow
                   C                       D               Em
Yeah yeah, And the music there well it was   hauntingly familiar
       C                   D       
When I see you doin what I try to do for me
         Em
With the   words from a poet and a voice from a choir
       C      D               Em
And a melody,   nothin else mattered

                C                       D
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she's singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
                C                       D
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she's singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

         Em         D               C                D         C
The clouds never expect it when it rains but the sea   changes color
            D                 C     D     
But the sea   does not change
Em              D         C           D
So with the slow graceful glow of age
          C              D      C      D
I went forth with an age-old desire to please
        C       D   C    D
On the edge of seventeen

Em                C  D   Em
Ooh....

                 C                       D
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she's singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
                C                       D
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she's singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

           C                 D                           Em      
Well then suddenly there was no one left standin in the hall
                  C                 D                        Em
Yeah Yeah, in a flood of tears that no one really ever heard fall at all
               C                           D
Well I went searchin for an answer up the stairs and down the hall
Em                                                    C        D
Not to find an answer but just to hear the call of a nightbird
        Em
Singin come away, (come away, come away)

                 C                       D
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she's singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
                 C                      D
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she's singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh

       Em              D             Em           D
Well I hear you in the mornin' and I hear you at nightfall
    Em              D           Em      D       C        D     Em
And sometimes to be near you is to be unable to feel you    my love
                 C             D    Em
I'm a few years older than you   my love

                C                       D
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she's singin
Em
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
