Chords

I know that technically B7 is musically the correct chord. But if you listen to the accordion it is playing a B major chord. That makes no change to the pitch, and I think it sounds better without the capo. Intro/Bridge: E B E B
          E                B     E              B
          Something's happening, can we make it last?

          E                   B           A            B
          I won't forget this moment, the day is goin' fast.
Verse 1:
               E               A               E       A
          I've never seen a sunset like this before,

          E              A               E        A
          One long cloud sleepin' in the valley.

                  E             A                       B
          And the heaven that I see, belongs to you and me,

          A                     B              E     A  E  A
          So much better than a picture on the wall.
Chorus:
                   E               A                              B
          And it's not your summer blue, and it's not your winter green.

               A                 E    A
          It's more like emerald.

          A         E                         A
          It's been waiting for our hearts to fall,

             A               B
          So we would see it all.

          A                     B             E      A  E  A
          So much better than a picture on the wall.
Verse 2:
                    E              A             E       A
          And we'll never see a sunset like this again,

            E               A                E     A
          Tomorrow it could rain and thunder down,

          E               A                               B7
          Followed by the steam, and the trickling little stream.

          A                     B             E      A  E  A
          So much better than a picture on the wall.
Chorus:
                   E               A                              B
          And it's not your summer blue, and it's not your winter green.

               A                 E  A
          It's more like emerald.

          A         E                         A
          It's been waiting for our hearts to fall,

             A               B
          So we would see it all.

          A                     B              E      A  E  A
          So much better than a picture on the wall.
