Chords

by Siouxsie and the Banshees =============================== This is the song my wife and I danced to at our wedding, so I figure it should be the first chord I ever submit! This is a very simple song and good for beginners. The rhythm is reminiscent of a 50's era slow ballad. Play along with the song and you'll have it in no time. Intro: Just strum or pick a C maj (arpeggio sounds nice here)

       C
In the sharp gust of love

My memory stirred

     Am
When time wreathed a rose

A garland of shame

    F
Its thorn my only delight

War torn, afraid to speak

   C
We dare to breathe

Majestic, Imperial, A bridge of sighs

    Am
Solitude sails

In a wave of forgiveness

   C
On angels' wings

Reach out your hands Don't turn your back

      Am
Don't walk away

           F
How in the world

               Fm
Can I wish for this?

            C           C7
Never to be torn apart

F
Close to you

Fm            C
'Til the last beat

Of my heart

       C
At the close of day

The sunset cloaks

      Am
These words in shadowplay

F
Here and now, long and loud

   C
My heart cries out

        Am
And the naked bone of an echo says

      C
Don't walk away 

F              Fm
Reach out your hands

           C         C7
I'm just a step away

           F
How in the world

               Fm
Can I wish for this?

            C          C7
Never to be torn apart

F
Close to you

Fm            C
'Til the last beat

            C7
Of my heart 

           F
How in the world

               Fm
Can I wish for this?

            C          C7
Never to be torn apart

F
'Til the last beat

Fm                     C
'Til the last fleeting beat

            C7
Of my heart
