Dm (with variations shown at end of the song )    G   Am



        Dm                       G       Am        

In the shadow of the old north church I courted her

        Dm                            G          Am

While the pigeons and the gargoyles perched she sang

           Dm                     G       Am

Is there anyone who's seen those eyes dismissing her ?

           Dm                      G         Am

Is there anyone who's lips she's kissed complained?





Chorus:

Dm7    F           G             C      C/B      Am

Seven months and seven wonders, seven roads of rain and thunder

Dm7     F          G                 C    C/B          Am

Seven hills of lamplight gleaming, seven turns toward where you're 

         dreaming

Dm  G      Am

Oh, to be back with you



       Dm                      G          Am

On a mission of the crossroad palms, simplicity

       Dm                        G        Am

Could function as a fine first prize for pain

      Dm                        G         Am

But picking up the breadcrumb clues efficienctly

      Dm                      G         Am

Will light me up a new days dawn, but strange





(Chorus)

         Dm                G               Am

In the shadow of the old north church I courted her

         Dm                       G         Am       

In the clanging of the cast iron bell, her face

            Dm                    G        Am

While the shadows of the hilltop shop distorted her

     Dm                    G          Am

I tumbled on my pride, pitfall from grace





(Chorus)

Dm7      F        G             C       C/B      Am

Lots of time to think it over, lots of pain to claim and shoulder

Dm7     F       G

I was wrong, I don't deny it

  C       C/B        Am

Please forgive me, would you try it

  Dm G      Am

Oh, to be back with you

  Dm G     Am

Oh, to be back with you







The Dm at the beginning, as well as throughout the song can be

supplemented by changing the note played on the 6th (highest ) string. 

That is:



  Dm             G          Dm7 ( so you don't have to look it up)
