Chords

This was originally penned by Baz Warne, now current lead guitarist/vocalist on The Stranglers. It's a pretty mellow song that comes off the Norfolk Coast album. Some of the vocal phrasing, especially verse 2 is a little tricky, so I'd suggest listening to the song. Chords are pretty simple: Em, C, D, Bm, G. I play it with a capo on the second fret. Standard tunings. Enjoy! Verse 1:
Em
I've seen you there, 

                                          C
I've seen you doing your thing in your own space,

           D                    Bm   
In your own time, and that's just fine

Em
But where do you go

                                               C
And have you been somewhere lately where you've seen,

                D             Bm
You'd be carefree, if not for me
Chorus
Em              Bm                C                     G
Look back to the time when our paths first came together

Em         D             C              Bm
Gazing at a yellow Dutch moon, do it soon

Em              Bm           C             G
Remember my face and the pla-ces it took you

Bm          D           Em
Under a fading Dutch moon
[Guitar Solo] Repeat Chorus Verse 2:
Em
I felt you go, 

                                     C
I felt you leaving behind all that we had,

      D                    Bm                    Em
In an instant, you're a firebrand, now I curse the moon,

                               C
Forever leading me gently by my hand

         D
Into your land

C                    D
By my hand, into your land

C                    D
By my hand, into your land

C                    D
By my hand, into your land
