Guitar chords with lyrics

The B7 you hear a lot of in the song is played  x21202
I'm not sure if he plays the straight B towards the end, but you can hear for yourself what you prefer.
Tuned a half-step down.

intro:

E    B7  A      B7


verse:

    E                        B7  A
And then there came a stranger
                  E            B7      A
call her Highland Grace, a rearranger
         E                B7      A
I'd been searching in the mirror,
                  E                       B7       A
but seeing my own face didn't make it any clearer
    E                     B7        A
I'd rage against the hard times
                       E                  B7      A
while others smiled to say, "Hey, take it easy."
    E               B7     A
And lo, this little angel
                    E                     B7      A
was standing in the rain, oh, just what I needed


chorus:
E          B7          F#m      A
Ain't that just like a Saturday child?
A            E            F#m              A
Bound for Avalon with the birds 'round her head
E                  B7         F#m          A
She loves with the love of a gentle child
        A           E      F#m             A
I was a fool of the rule before I met her


verse:

E                 B7   A
Good morning, Matokie
                    E          B7        A
Tell me about those great expectations
       E                B7     A
When I set the river on fire
                  E                    B7     A
You laughed in my face when things got dire

         E             B7        A
Yea, and sleep went to slaughter
                 E                B7         A
I saw you drift away, farther and farther
   E                B7        A
My eyes pinned like diamonds,
                  E                        B7    A
head of smoke for days, I loved you little liar


chorus:
E          B7          F#m      A
Ain't that just like a Saturday child?
A            E            F#m              A
Bound for Avalon with the birds 'round her head
E                  B7         F#m          A
She loves with the love of a gentle child
     A           E              F#m              A
Hey, fool of the rule, not everything's for sale


outro:

                 B
And if you can't buy it
                  A
And you stand and deny it
                 B
And if you can't see it
                  A
And you refuse to believe it
                 B
And if you can't count it
                       A
And you can't help but doubt it

    B              E         A                    B
But loving her way easy, the easiest thing in the world
E              A                              B
Loving her way easy, the easiest thing in the world
   B              E         A                    B
Oh loving her way easy, the easiest thing in the world



E    B7  A      B7   x4
