Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

E minorEm        B minorBm
In the valley of darkness

   A augmentedA         C majorC    D MajorD    E minorEm
Where moonlight glows behind the falling leaves

          B minorBm
In the wastes of november

      A augmentedA       C majorC  D MajorD  E MajorE
Where each man sees what only he believes

Chorus:

E MajorE             G+G FF
I would show you what you ar-re

    C majorC        D MajorD        E MajorE
In a portrait where you writh in living oils

             G+G  FF
Yes i'd show you what you ar -re

  C majorC       D MajorD       E minorEm
A augmentedA reflection in a lake before it boils

Verse 2:

E minorEm          B minorBm
In the harbour of autumn

      A augmentedA         C majorC  D MajorD     E minorEm
Where the summer ships are water logged and cold

            B minorBm
Does it hurt you to remember

     A augmentedA        C majorC    D MajorD    E MajorE
How they came and went before the year got old

Chorus:

E MajorE           G+G FF
The distraction of the ra-in

     C majorC            D MajorD         E MajorE
after twilight never stops till winter's midnight breath

           G+G FF
Shall i show it you aga-in

  C majorC         D MajorD               E minorEm
How precisely shall my angels fly to comfort you with death

Verse 3:

E minorEm            B minorBm
If you fell in to the water

     A augmentedA         C majorC    D MajorD     E minorEm
It would freeze you long before you reach the land

            B minorBm
And at four tomorrow morning

      A augmentedA       C majorC     D MajorD    E MajorE
There would be no dawn, no footprints in the sand

Chorus:

E MajorE            G+G FF
I would take you as you ar-re

     C majorC       D MajorD                 E MajorE
every morning, now you reach me with your eyes as red as sun

            G+G FF
Yes i'd take you as you ar-re

      C majorC        D MajorD              E minorEm
from your birthday till the end of you, the end of everyone.
