Intro 1
(C major) (F major) (C major) (F major) (G major)
(C major)
Verse 1
If the dull substance of my (F major)
flesh were thought (C major)
Injurious distance should not (F major) stop (D minor) my way (G major)
(C major) For then despite of space
I (F major) would be brought (C major)
From limits far remote (G major) where
thou dost stay (C major) (F major)
No matter then (G major) although my foot did stand
(C major) Upon the farthest earth
removed (F major) from thee
For nimble thought can
jump (G major) both sea and land
(C major) As soon as think (F major) the place
where he would be
Ah! (G major) (C major) But thought kills me that
(F major) I (D minor) am not thought (C major)
To leap large lengths of
miles when (G major) thou art gone
(C major) But that so much of earth
and (F major) water wrought (C major)
I must attend time's (G major) leisure
with my moan (C major) (E minor)
(A minor) Receiving nought by elements (G major) so slow (E minor)
(D minor) But (F major) heavy tears,
badges (A minor) of either's woe

Interlude 1
(C major) (G major) (A minor) (G major) (F major)
(C major)
Verse 2
(A minor) The other two, slight air and purging (C major) fire
(G major) Are both with thee, wherever I abide (C major)
(F major) The first my thought, the other my desire
(C major) These present- absent
with swift motion slide (A minor)
For when these quicker elements are gone
(G major) In tender embassy of love to thee
(F major) My life, being made of four,
(C major) with two alone
Sinks down to death,
oppress'd with (A minor) melancholy
Until life's composition (G major) be recured
By those swift messengers
re (F major) turn'd from thee
Who even but now come back again, (C major)
assured
Of thy fair health, recounting it to (A minor) me
This told, I (G major) joy; but then no longer (F major) glad
I send them back again and straight
grow (C major) sad (G major)
Outro 1
(A minor) (G major) (C major) (F major) (C major)
(A minor) (G major) (F major)
(C major)
