Subject: CRD: Silver Springs by Fleetwood Mac

Beautiful song to an ex-lover, I believe written by Stevie Nicks in
response to Lindsey Buckingham's "Go Your Own Way" after they separated,
but were still performing together in 1976. I read somewhere that it was
the B side of that single, but never on an album until "The Dance." 


Silver Springs (Stevie Nicks)

As performed live by Fleetwood Mac on "The Dance"

Intro: F  C  F  C

C               F      C
You could be my silver spring
C          F      C     
Blue-green colors flashing
C               F    C
I would be your only dream
C                 F     C
Your shining over ocean crashing

Am#5
And do you say she's pretty
And do you say that she loved you
             F       C
Baby I don't want to know

C                 F    C
So I begin not to love you
C            F      C     
Turn 'round, see me running
C                 F     C
I say I loved you years ago
C                   F       C      Am#5     
But tell myself you never loved me no

Am#5
And did you say that she's pretty
And do you say that she loved you
             F       C
Baby I don't want to know

C  Am#5  C

Am#5  C
Oh    no

Am#5
And can you tell me it was worth it
               F       C
Really I don't want to know

Am          Bm       C
Time cast a spell on you
    F            G
But you won't forget me
  Am     Bm         C     
I know I could have loved you
    F             G
But you would not let me

Solo over 
C, F, C, 
C, F, C, 
Am#5, 
Am#5, C 

Am          Bm       C
Time cast a spell on you
    F            G
But you won't forget me
  Am     Bm         C
I know I could have loved you
    F             G
But you would not let me 

     Am         Bm             C
I'll follow you down 'till the sound 
      F          G     
Of my voice will haunt you (Was I just a fool?) 
       Am        Bm            C     
You'll never get away from the sound
       F         G
Of the woman who loves you (Was I just a fool?)

(Repeat last 4 lines, w/ "Give me just a chance" and "Never get away")
     
C             F      C
You can be my silver spring
C             F      C
My blue-green colors flashing
