an appropriate moment. The song seems to be in Low Tune i.e. a semi-tone lower
than standard (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb) so, if you want to play along you're going
to have to re-tune or transpose. Chords below are for standard tuning.
VERSE:
Chords:
A x02220 E7 779797 or x767xx
Dmaj7 xx0222 or 557675 Esus4 022200
If I lost you now, would I cry,
And hang my head forlorn and sad?
Would I greet each day in silence
And wipe each tear, each hopeless hope,
Wordlessly away until I slip into shadow?
BRIDGE:
The chords on the last line are picked thus:
Chords:
Dmaj7 xx0222 or 557675 C#m7 446454
F#7 242322 E7sus4 020200
If I lost you now, would I be sorry?
Would I slowly stumble on somehow?
Would I hide my eyes from this lonely life
If I lost you now?
(repeat picked chords: A Am E7sus4 E)
VERSE:
Would the world go on regardless
And foreign runes of time pursued?
Love is his name and ever shall be
How could they know what I let go?
I'd beg the bitter end of days to swallow me whole.
