STEVE FORBERT lyrics : "Oh, to Be Back With You (Alternative Version)"

[Capo on 3rd fret]

[Intro:]

[Em] [A] [D] walk down to [Bm] [x2]
[Em] [A] [Bm]


In the [Em] shadow of the old norh [A] church
I [Bm] courted her,
While the [Em] pigeons and the

gargoyles [A] perched
she [Bm] sang.
Is [Em] there anyone who's seen those [A] eyes

[Bm] dismissing her?
Is there [Em] anyone whose lips she's
[A] kissed [Bm] complained?


Chorus: (play like intro)
[Em] Seven months and [A] seven wonders,

[D] Seven roads of the [Bm] rain and thunder,
[Em] Seven hills of [A] lamplight gleaming,
[D] Seven turns towards where

you're [Bm] dreaming,
[Em] Oh, [A] to be back with [Bm] you.


[Em] On a mission of the crossroad [A] palms
[Bm] simplicity
[Em] Could function as a fine first

[A] prize for [Bm] pain,
[Em] But picking up the bread crumb [A] clues
[Bm] effeciently

[Em] Will light me up a new day's [A] dawn,
but [Bm] strange.


[Chorus]

[Em] In the shadow of the old north [A] church

I [Bm] courted her,
[Em] In the clanging of the cast iron [A] bells,
her [Bm] face;

[Em] While windows of the hilltop [A] shop
[Bm] distorted her,
I [Em] tumbled on my pride

[A] pitfall from [Bm] grace.

[Em] Seven months and [A] seven wonders,

[D] Seven roads of [Bm] rain and thunder,
[Em] Seven hills of [A] lamplight gleaming,
[D] Seven turns towards

[Bm] where you're dreaming,
[Em] Lots of time to [A] think it over,
[D] Lots of blame to [Bm] claim and shoulder,

[Em] I was wrong, I [A] don't deny it,
[D] Please forgive me, [Bm] would you try it?
[Em] Oh, [A] to be back with [Bm] you,

[Em] Oh, [A] to be back with [Bm] you.
