Chords

[Intro] | G | D7 | G | [Chorus]
G
The Gods were angry with me, for loving you

              C          G                C
The Gods were angry with me, because they knew

                    F#7        G            E
I stood at heaven's portal and that was too high

A7                       D7
 For any mortal, such as I
[Verse]
        G
So they took down the sun, the skies were gray

         C
Then the howlin' winds, took you away

                              F#7           G
And there was nothing I could do, because I knew (nothing I could do)

                         D7             G
The Gods were angry with me, for loving you
(Parlando)
G                                                                     C
Once upon a time when our love was new and I was happy, with the love that I've found

C
Then the Gods and the sun and the moon and the stars, looked down and saw me there with you

F#7            G                                                                  D7         G
 And they sent my dream world crash into the ground (it was because the Gods were angry with me)
[Chorus]
G
The Gods were angry with me, for loving you

              C          G                C
The Gods were angry with me, because they knew

                    F#7        G            E
I stood at heaven's portal and that was too high

A7                       D7
 For any mortal, such as I
[Verse]
        G
So they took down the sun, the skies were gray

         C
Then the howlin' winds, took you away

                              F#7           G
And there was nothing I could do, because I knew (nothing I could do)

                         D7             G
The Gods were angry with me, for loving you

(And so they took down the sun, the skies were gray)

              C
(And then the howling winds took you away)
[Outro]
                              F#7             G
And there was nothing I could do, for I could see

                             F#7    D    G
It was because the Gods were angry, with me
