More chords by Al Stewart

Genre: folk, rock, soft rock


This is how I play it, a bit simplified, and potentially incorrect, but works

for me

either as it is here or transposed +7 to start on Am

If I want to sing along with the version on "Al Stewart, The Early Years
album" https://youtu.be/mrMzGL3Bt0Q
then transposing up to start with Am and then putting the capo on the 4th

fret seems to work.

[Intro]
Dm Dm7/C# Dm7/C Dm7/B
Dm Dm7/C# Dm7/C Dm7/B

[Verse 1]
Dm Dm7/C# Dm7/C Dm7/B
It's Sunday afternoon and it's raining,
Dm Dm7/C# Dm7/C Dm7/B
I'm falling.
Dm Dm7/C# Dm7/C Dm7/B
Colour sections, pastel blue, an empty church, a movie queue,
Dm Dm7/C# Dm7/C Dm7/B
And I'm falling.
C C/B Am
Watching you moving around,
G F E7 Am
Taking the time to get a proper look,
Dm E7 Am A
It seems as though I've never really looked at you.

[Verse 2]
Dm Dm7/C# Dm7/C Dm7/B
Get up, put the kettle on, make us some tea,
Dm Dm7/C# Dm7/C Dm7/B
I'm falling.
Dm Dm7/C# Dm7/C Dm7/B
If we've got some biscuits left, please bring one for me,
Dm Dm7/C# Dm7/C Dm7/B
I'm just falling.
C C/B Am
Spending the whole day in bed,
G F E Am
Wasting our time in such a gentle way.
Dm E Am A
We hardly need to say a word, it's just okay.

[Verse 3]
Dm E Am Fmaj7 E
And already the sun has gone and it's growing dark outside,
Dm E Am F E
I can see your face reflected in the red electric firelight,
Am Dm E
And our shadow is an embyro that slowly comes to life.
Am Dm E
And as it moves across the wall it seems to feel the fire of living
Am Dm E Am
Growing stronger as it climbs, to shiver in a blaze across the ceiling.
F E Am
And the soundless crash of the sea
