Chords

From the album 'The Black Rider' I noticed there was'nt a version up here, so thought I'd put up how I play it. I know it sounds a bit out and some of the G chords can be played as G7/B chords if you like, but worth messing around with, enjoy. Tabbed by flatwound
            C          Dm              G
         I love the way the tattered clouds

               C     Am       Dm    G
         Blow wind across the sky

               D7              
         The summer goes and leaves me

                 G      Am  D7
         With a tear in my eye

               C            Dm      G
         I'm taking off my winter clothes

              C     Am         D     G
         My garden knows what wrong

              Dm    G         C      Am
         The petals of my favourite rose

              Dm              G
         In shadows dark and long

                 C                Dm    G
         Though every year, it's very clear

             C         Am     Dm    G
         I should be carrying on

                       Dm            G
         But I can be found in the garden

           C           A7
         Singing this song

                   Dm            G        C    Am
         When the last rose of summer is gone

              Dm            G        C        C
         The last rose of summer is gone,    gone
