Chords

[Intro] Bm D Bm E D [Verse 1]
     Am           C
She wore a black tiara

     Am             D  C
Rare gems upon her fingers

         Am                C
And she came from distant waters

       C                  G
Where northern lights explode

    Am            C
To celebrate the dawning

          Am          D  C
Of the new wastes of winter

 Am              F
Gathering royal momentum

C      D   E        F G Am
On the icy road
[Verse 2]
     Am           C
With chill mists swirling

     Am             D  C
Like petticoats in motion

         Am       C
Sighted on horizons

       C           G
For ten thousand years

    Am            C
The lady of the ice sounds

          Am          D  C
A deathly distant rumble

    Am                        F
To Titanic-breaking children lost

C      D   E               F G Am
In melting crystal tears
[Chorus]
G                 A             Bm
Oh, sunshine --- take me now away from here

       G            A           Bm
I'm a needle on a spiral in a groove

         G          A
And the turntable spins

         D          E
As the last waltz begins

         G
And the weather-man says

A                   Bm   D Bm E D
Something's on the move
[Verse 3]
     Am           C
Capturing black pieces

     Am             D  C
In a glass-fronted museum

     Am           C
The white queen rolls

       C                  G
On the chessboard of the dawn

    Am            C
Squeezing through the valleys

          Am          D  C
Pausing briefly in the corries

    Am           F
The Ice-Mother mates

C           D   E          F G Am
And a new age is born
[Chorus]
G                 A             Bm
Oh, sunshine --- take me now away from here

       G            A           Bm
I'm a needle on a spiral in a groove

         G          A
And the turntable spins

         D          E
As the last waltz begins

         G
And the weather-man says

A                   Bm   D Bm E D
Something's on the move
[Verse 4]
     Am           C
Driving all before her

     Am             D  C
Un-stoppable, un-straining

     Am           C
Her cold creaking mass

  C               G
Follows reindeer down

    Am            C
Thin spreading fingers seek

     Am               D  C
To embrace the sill-warm bundles

      Am           F
That huddle on the doorsteps

C           D   E          F G Am
Of a white London Town
[Chorus]
G                 A             Bm
Oh, sunshine --- take me now away from here

       G            A           Bm
I'm a needle on a spiral in a groove

         G          A
And the turntable spins

         D          E
As the last waltz begins

         G
And the weather-man says

A                   Bm   D Bm E D
Something's on the move
