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
DmGAm
While the pigeons and the gargoyles perched she sang
Dm G Am
Is there anyone who's seen those eyes dismissing her ?
DmG Am
Is there anyone who's lips she's kissed complained?
Chorus:
Dm7F G CC/BAm
Seven months and seven wonders, seven roads of rain and thunder
Dm7 FG CC/BAm
Seven hills of lamplight gleaming, seven turns toward where you're
dreaming
DmGAm
Oh, to be back with you
DmGAm
On a mission of the crossroad palms, simplicity
DmGAm
Could function as a fine first prize for pain
DmG Am
But picking up the breadcrumb clues efficienctly
DmG Am
Will light me up a new days dawn, but strange
(Chorus)
DmG 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
DmGAm
While the shadows of the hilltop shop distorted her
DmGAm
I tumbled on my pride, pitfall from grace
(Chorus)
Dm7FG C C/BAm
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/BAm
Please forgive me, would you try it
Dm GAm
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 GDm7 ( so you don't have to look it up)
