Serenade chords by Roxy Music

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

Verse:

F
Darkness falls
                   C
Around your window pane
  F
A light still burns
                       C
But just a smouldering flame
G                 C
Is it the end of another affair
    G                   C
An open engagement with gloom
   A
Or will you be smiling
         D
When the sun conjures up
  G                        C  A G
A broken spell au clair de lu-u-une?

Verse:

F
Silhouette
                C
As you draw the shade
F
Cloak of night
                     C
You know it's tailor-made
G
G-Plan gymnastics
       C
By an everglow fire
G                    C
Could never mean the same
   A
As summer enchantment
      D
By an old mill steam
     G                      C  A G
From courtly love to costly ga-a-ame

Instrumental:

F      C
F      C
G    C    G    C
A    D    G
C    A    G

Bridge:

Bb          Gb
  Maybe I'm wrong for seeming
Bb            Gb
  Ungrateful, unforgiving
Dm                          C
Oh! how it hurts now you're finally leaving
A                 G
I couldn't take anymore

Verse:

F
Now's the time!
            C
Let's hide away
F
Sacred hours
                 C
Saved from yesterday
G                     C
Boo-hoo willows weep around you still
G                     C
Mirror reflections of dew
    A                     D
But waterfall pages of an open book
      G                   C
Could shower new horizons soon
         A
Call the tune
         G
Will you swoon
     C
As I croon
     F
Your serenade
