It Started Out So Nice

Transcribed by Danny Lloyd

                     

 
      A                                          E   
It  started  out  with  butterflies,     on  a  velvet  afternoon

      A                                E   
With  flashing  eyes  and  promises  caught  and  held  too  soon

       A                           E                     D
In a place called Ixea, with it's pumpkin oval moon it started out so nice

 A                       E             A                                  E  
Jenie taught Orion sea-purple harmony,   while Kogi hid secrets into seashells

 A                                                   E                 D 
And even the ocean laughed, beneath that celestial canopy,  cause it started out so nice

 F#m                        Bm            F#m                  Bm
With the dust of stars they intermingle, Durock of Avon would only jingle

 C                             D                           F#m   Bm   F#m   Bm
Marble   money   tunes   as   pale   earthly   circles   swooned

 A                        E                      A                                    E   
Volume left Bohemia, a triangle for his thumb, questions fell, but no one stopped to listen

    A                                      E                             D 
But eternity was just a dawn away and the rest was sure to come, leaves caught in winter's ice

 F#m                          Bm                F#m                   Bm
Abandoned circus grounds of flower captains,   prisms in the palm one way it happens

C                              D                            F#m   Bm   F#m   Bm
The air was silver calm,  the softly met were slowly moving on

  C                        D                       F#m                       Bm
Then all things in common suddenly grew strange,  now the Wurs were chasing other rainbows

 F#m                  Bm                       C                     D         F#m   Bm   F#m   Bm
Trying to find  which way the wind blows,  to empty corners,  past dusty memories

 A                         E                         A          
Now in the third millennium the crowded madness came, crooked shadows roamed through the nights

            E                          A                                                          E  
The wizards overplayed their names and after that the Wurs never bothered to have summer reasons, again,

         D
But it started out so nice, it started out so nice, we started out so nice.
