Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
A diamond necklace played the pawn
Hand in hand some drummed along, oh
To a handsome man and baton
A blind class aristocracy
Back through the opera glass you see
The pit and the pendulum drawn
Columnated ruins do mi no
Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
Are you sleeping?
Hung velvet overtaken me
Dim chandelier awaken me
To a song dissolved in the dawn
The music hall a costly bow
The music all is lost for now
To a muted trumperter swan
Columnated ruins do mi no
Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
D/A D
Are you sleeping, Brother John?
Dove nested towers the hour was
Strike the street quicksilver moon
Carriage across the fog
Two-Step to lamp lights cellar tune
The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne
The glass was raised, the fired rose
The fullness of the wine, the dim last toast- ing
While at port adieu or die
A choke of grief heart hardened I
Beyond belief a broken man too tough to cry
Surf's Up
Aboard a tidal wave
Come about hard and join
The young and often spring you gave
I heard the word
Wonderful thing
A children's song
A children's song
Have you listened as they played
Their song is love
And the children know the way
A children's song
Have you listened as they played
Their song is love
And the children know the way
Child.
*** NOTE: In that part, at the end of 'brother John' there's a descending
arrangement over the D chord that goes A G F(those are notes, not chords).
It can be played with an inversion of D, like this one: xx0235, a Dsus4 and
a regular D. That way you have the descending bit on your high e string.
So, that's it, enjoy!
