Chords

Couldn't find a version of this song and have been enjoying all TGA tabs uploaded by others for the last 15 (!) years so tried making one myself. Happy to hear feedback (especially that solo). [Intro] Am G F C x4 [Verse]
   Am                   G
I live in the room above her

          F              C
And she doesn't know my name

           Am             G
But I'm afraid that if I see her

       F              C
I will not see you again

                Am            G
Sometimes she passes by the window

          F                     C
Her skin is pearl and pale and ghost

             Am                G
And I hear someone crying sometimes

                 F               C           G
Like there was really something wrong
[Chorus]
                     C     G
I hear her singin', "Lay down in my arms

Am                      F             G
Lover, you will one day miss all my charms

             C     G
So come on, lay down in my arms

Am                              F        G
Sleep, baby, sleep, the cruel morning is not very far"
[Instrumental] Am G F C x2 [Verse]
        Am                   G
I never see her watch the sunrise

          F              C
I hear a record lightly play

             Am                   G
Sometimes I think I hear some movement

                F          C
Like something can't get away

               Am            G
Now there's a picture in a Bible

          F              C
That I swear I've seen before

               Am                 G
Where she was bathing on the rooftop

        F          C         G
While David looked on
[Chorus]
                     C     G
I hear her singin', "Lay down in my arms

Am                      F             G
Lover, you will one day miss all my charms

             C     G
So come on, lay down in my arms

Am                              F        G
Sleep, baby, sleep, the cruel morning is not very far"
[Solo]
                     C     G
I hear her singin', "Lay down in my arms

Am                      F             G
Lover, you will one day miss all my charms

             C     G
So come on, lay down in my arms

Am                              F        G
Sleep, baby, sleep, the cruel morning is not very far"
[Instrumental] Am G F C x2 [Outro]
   Am                   G
I live in the room above her

      F              C
And I never make a sound

             Am                G
Except the matches for the candles

          F            C
And the radio turned down
