Chords

Almost Standard Tuning:
E-A-D-E-B-E    (Just tune the G down to an E)
Capo 4 [Chords] E 022000 F#m 244000 A x02000 B x24000 C#m x46000 On the A chord, he hammers the B string (2nd from highest), second fret - x02020 Technique stuff: The F#m chord may sound a bit off, but it's the bass note that you should listen for. Also, think of this song as 4 beats per line, but then subdivide every beat into 6 mini beats. That's how he plucks. For example, say "Cheerio Cheerio" for each beat. He likes to hit the bass note on the first beat of every chord, the G string on the 2nd triplet (or the Chee of the second Cheerio), then the B string on the "a" of the 2nd triplet (1+a2+a) (or the "O" of the second Cheerio). In the album version of this song, in the bridge (Lumière darling) the chords are C#m A E B. [Verse]
E             F#m       A
  You look so wonderful in your dress

E            F#m       A
 I love your hair like that

E           F#m          A
 The way it falls on the side of your neck

C#m        B             A
 Down your shoulders and back

E         F#m          A
 We are surrounded by all of these lies

     E          F#m      A
 And people who talk too much

E                F#m     A
 You've got the kind of look in your eyes

       C#m         B            A
As if no one knows anything but us
[Pre-Chorus]
   A                  E            B
And should this be the last thing I see

  A                      E          B
I want you to know it's enough for me

       A                    E                  B
'Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need
[Chorus]
          E   F#m   A
I'm so in love

      E   F#m   A
So in love

      E   F#m   A
So in love

      E   F#m   A
So in love
[Verse]
E             F#m       A
 You look so beautiful in this light

E            F#m       A
 Your silhouette over me

E            F#m           A
 The way it brings out the blue in your eyes

       C#m     B    A
is the Tenerife Sea

    E          F#m        A
And all of the voices surrounding us here

          E             F#m         A
They just fade out when you take a breath

E             F#m        A
Just say the word and I will disappear

C#m      B          A
into the wilderness
[Pre-Chorus]
    A                  E            B
And should this be the last thing I see

  A                      E          B
I want you to know it's enough for me

       A                    E                  B
'Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need
[Chorus]
          E   F#m   A
I'm so in love

      E   F#m   A
So in love

      E   F#m   A
So in love

      E   F#m   A
So in love
[Bridge]
C#m A    E  B
Lumière, darling

C#m  A        B
Lumière over me
(He loops this 6 times, I sing it 2 times normal, 2 with the first harmony he uses) [Pre-Chorus]
   A                  E            B
And should this be the last thing I see

  A                      E          B
I want you to know it's enough for me

       A                    E                  B
'Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need
[Outro]
          E   F#m   A
I'm so in love

      E   F#m   A
So in love

      E   F#m   A
So in love

      E   F#m   A
So in love
[Outro]
E            F#m       A
 You look so wonderful in your dress

E             F#m       A
 I loved your hair like that

E            F#m      A
 And in the moment I knew you Beth
(on the last chord just play the bass string)
