Like As The Waves (v1) by Dadai & RSchletty

Sonnet 60, William Shakespeare

Music by Jack Miller 2006



Em                      A

 Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,

Em                        A

 So do our minutes hasten to their end;

Em                        A

 Each changing place with that which goes before,

Em                   A

 In sequent toil all forwards do contend.



interlude



G

 Nativity, once in the main of light,

A

 Crawls to maturity, wherewith being crown'd,

G

 Crooked ellipses 'gainst his glory fight,

A

 And Time that gave doth now his gift confound.



interlude



Em                      A

 Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth

Em                           A

 And delves the parallels in beauty's brow,

Em                        A

 Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth,

Em                              A

 And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow:



interlude



C           G            Em              A

 And yet to times in hope my verse shall stand,

C             G     A                  Em

 Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand.
