Chords with lyrics
The B7B7 you hear a lot of in the song is played x21202
I'm not sure if he plays the straight BB towards the end, but you can hear for yourself what you prefer.
Tuned a half-step down.
intro:
E MajorE B7B7 A augmentedA B7B7
verse:
E MajorE B7B7 A augmentedA
And then there came a stranger
E MajorE B7B7 A augmentedA
call her Highland Grace, a rearranger
E MajorE B7B7 A augmentedA
I'd been searching in the mirror,
E MajorE B7B7 A augmentedA
but seeing my own face didn't make it any clearer
E MajorE B7B7 A augmentedA
I'd rage against the hard times
E MajorE B7B7 A augmentedA
while others smiled to say, "Hey, take it easy."
E MajorE B7B7 A augmentedA
And lo, this little angel
E MajorE B7B7 A augmentedA
was standing in the rain, oh, just what I needed
chorus:
E MajorE B7B7 F# minorF#m A augmentedA
Ain't that just like a Saturday child?
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m A augmentedA
Bound for Avalon with the birds 'round her head
E MajorE B7B7 F# minorF#m A augmentedA
She loves with the love of a gentle child
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m A augmentedA
I was a fool of the rule before I met her
verse:
E MajorE B7B7 A augmentedA
Good morning, Matokie
E MajorE B7B7 A augmentedA
Tell me about those great expectations
E MajorE B7B7 A augmentedA
When I set the river on fire
E MajorE B7B7 A augmentedA
You laughed in my face when things got dire
E MajorE B7B7 A augmentedA
Yea, and sleep went to slaughter
E MajorE B7B7 A augmentedA
I saw you drift away, farther and farther
E MajorE B7B7 A augmentedA
My eyes pinned like diamonds,
E MajorE B7B7 A augmentedA
head of smoke for days, I loved you little liar
chorus:
E MajorE B7B7 F# minorF#m A augmentedA
Ain't that just like a Saturday child?
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m A augmentedA
Bound for Avalon with the birds 'round her head
E MajorE B7B7 F# minorF#m A augmentedA
She loves with the love of a gentle child
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m A augmentedA
Hey, fool of the rule, not everything's for sale
outro:
BB
And if you can't buy it
A augmentedA
And you stand and deny it
BB
And if you can't see it
A augmentedA
And you refuse to believe it
BB
And if you can't count it
A augmentedA
And you can't help but doubt it
BB E MajorE A augmentedA BB
But loving her way easy, the easiest thing in the world
E MajorE A augmentedA BB
Loving her way easy, the easiest thing in the world
BB E MajorE A augmentedA BB
Oh loving her way easy, the easiest thing in the world
E MajorE B7B7 A augmentedA B7B7 x4
