Dm (with variations shown at end of the song ) G Am

|
Dm G Am
|
In the shadow of the old north church I courted her
|
Dm G Am
|
While the pigeons and the gargoyles perched she sang
|
Dm G Am
|
Is there anyone who's seen those eyes dismissing her ?
|
Dm G Am
|
Is there anyone who's lips she's kissed complained?
|
|
|
Chorus:
|
Dm7 F G C C/B Am
|
Seven months and seven wonders, seven roads of rain and thunder
|
Dm7 F G C C/B Am
|
Seven hills of lamplight gleaming, seven turns toward where you're
|
dreaming
|
Dm G Am
|
Oh, to be back with you
|
|
Dm G Am
|
On a mission of the crossroad palms, simplicity
|
Dm G Am
|
Could function as a fine first prize for pain
|
Dm G Am
|
But picking up the breadcrumb clues efficienctly
|
Dm G Am
|
Will light me up a new days dawn, but strange
|
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Dm G Am
|
In the shadow of the old north church I courted her
|
Dm G Am
|
In the clanging of the cast iron bell, her face
|
Dm G Am
|
While the shadows of the hilltop shop distorted her
|
Dm G Am
|
I tumbled on my pride, pitfall from grace
|
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Dm7 F G C C/B Am
|
Lots of time to think it over, lots of pain to claim and shoulder
|
Dm7 F G
|
I was wrong, I don't deny it
|
C C/B Am
|
Please forgive me, would you try it
|
Dm G Am
|
Oh, to be back with you
|
Dm G Am
|
Oh, to be back with you
|
|
|
|
The Dm at the beginning, as well as throughout the song can be
|
supplemented by changing the note played on the 6th (highest ) string.
|
That is:
|
|
Dm G Dm7 ( so you don't have to look it up)
