Lyrics
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)
