The fantastic theme song to the show Over the Garden Wall, in its complete version.
The song is played on piano in the show, hence I've taken a few liberties
in assigning chords. Tons of help was provided by the sheet music from
riphsmusic.tumblr.com/post/103294670203/
so thanks very much to that transcriber.
Chords:
B6: x21104
Cdim/D#: x6457x
F#m/A: x07675 or x 0 11 11 10 9
F#m/A(II): x0422x
C#m/G#(II): 442xxx
D#7*: Could be D#7sus2: x6866x
(The sheet music indicated there's an F in this last chord,
but D#sus2 doesn't sound right. You can also get by with a D#7 or D#m7)
Piano intro:
C#m G# C#m...
E--3h4-5-4-3-4--16-------16-15-
B------------------14-17-------
Part I:
C#m B6 F#m/C# F#m
Led through the mist, by the milk-light of moon
C#m/G# Cdim/D# C#m G#7
All that was lost is revealed
C#m B6 F#m/A G#
Our long bygone burdens, mere echoes of the spring,
A C#m/G# F#m G#
But where have we come, and where shall we end?
F#m/A(II) C#m/G#(II) F#m G#
If dreams can't come true, then why not pretend?
(just emphasize the lower strings on these first 3 chords)
Part II:
C# Ddim
Oh how the gentle wind
D#m G#6
Beckons through the leaves,
C# F7 F# Bb7
As autumn colors fall
D#m G#7
Dancing in a swirl,
C# Bb7
Of golden memories,
D#7* G#7 C#
The loveliest lies of all.
(There's some piano flourish in the outro,
which can be approximated with an A -> C# arpeggio)
The latter chords repeat some on the show to accommodate
