The Divine Comedy – Lucy (Guitar)

E            B             A
I travelled among unknown men

   B
In lands beyond the sea;

E           B                   A
Nor, England did I know till then

     B
What love I bore to thee

E               B              A
'Tis past, that melancholy dream!

    B
Nor will I quit thy shore

E             B            A
A second time; for still I seem

   B         F#m      A    B   A
To love thee more and more

B                  A    B    A    B
Love thee more and more

E            B             A
Among thy mountains did I feel

    B
The joy of my desire;

E         B                    A
And she I cherished turned her wheel

  B
Beside an English fire

E            B                     A
Thy mornings showed, thy nights concealed

    B
The bowers where Lucy played;

E          B                    A
And thine too is the last green field

     B      F#m     A    B    A
That Lucy's eyes surveyed

B              A    B    A    B
Lucy's eyes surveyed

E          B                  A
She dwelt among the untrodden ways

  B
Beside the springs of Dove

E           B                  A
A Maid whom there were none to praise

    B
And very few to love:

E        B          A
A violet by a mossy stone

     B
Half hidden from the eye

E          B               A
-Fair as a star, when only one

   B       F#m    A    B    A
Is shining in the sky

B              A    B    A    B
shining in the sky

Esus4       E                    Asus2
She lived unknown, and few could know

     A              Esus4
When Lucy ceased to be;

           E                 Asus2
But she is in her grave and, oh

    A             Esus4
The difference to me

          E             Asus2
A slumber did my spirit seal;

  A             Esus4
I had no human fears;

             E                    Asus2
She seemed a thing that could not feel

    A                Esus4
The touch of earthly years

          E            Asus2
No motion has she now, no force;

    A                 F#m
She neither hears nor sees;

                 E               A
Rolled around in earth's diurnal course

     A                      E
With rocks, and stones, and trees
