Chords

From the 1st self-titled albumn The real intro is some wild stuff around an Em that is well beyond my abilities. After enough Em improv it crashes into a B7 (I think). Then the intro below. Chords: C# = xx4121, C#7 = x4342x, Dmaj7 = xx0222 [Intro] | Am Em | D C# | A | Dmaj7 | Dmaj7 | [Verse]
Dmaj7      D7       G          D      G             C           D
When I was young it came to me, and I could see the sun breaking

Dmaj7    D7        G        Bm
Lucy was high, and so was I,

Am        D           C#7      A7
dazzling, holding the world inside

Dmaj7    D7        G          Bb             D
Once I believed in everyone, everyone and anyone can see
[Chorus]
G  A      D     G     D   Bm    F#m     G        F#m       D7
Oo-oh the night comes down, and I get afraid, of losing my way

G  A      D     G     D   Bm F#m G F#m
Oo-oh the night comes down,  oh

Em7        A7
 and it's dark again
| Dmaj7 | [Verse]
Dmaj7        D7            G     D       G             C           D
Once I could laugh with everyone, once I could see the good in me

    Dmaj7              D7  G          Bm
The black and the white distinctively,

Am        D           C#7     A7
coloring, holding the world inside

Dmaj7         D7     G           Bb         D
Now all the world is grey to me, nobody can see (you gotta believe it)
[Chorus]
G  A      D     G     D   Bm    F#m     G        F#m       D7
Oo-oh the night comes down, and I get afraid, of losing my way

G  A      D     G     D   Bm F#m G F#m
Oo-oh the night comes down,  oh

Em7        A7
 and it's dark again
[Ending]
Em7        A7
  and it's dark again

Em7        A7         Em
  and it's dark again
