Oh, to Be Back with You

In the shadow of the old north church I courted her
While the pigeons and the gargoyles perched she sang
Is there anyone who’s seen those eyes dismissing her?
Is there anyone who’s lips she’s kissed complained?
Seven months and seven wonders, seven roads of rain and thunder
Seven hills of lamplight gleaming, seven turns toward where you’re
dreaming
Oh, to be back with you
On a mission of the crossroad palms, simplicity
Could function as a fine first prize for pain
But picking up the breadcrumb clues efficienctly
Will light me up a new days dawn, but strange
In the shadow of the old north church I courted her
In the clanging of the cast iron bell, her face
While the shadows of the hil
I tumbled on my pride, pitfall from grace
Lots of time to think it over, lots of pain to claim and shoulder
I was wrong, I don’t deny it
Please forgive me, would you try it
Oh, to be back with you
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)

A
capo on 3rd fret…
walk down to <~~~ play twice
In the shadow of the old norh church
I courted her,
While the pigeons and the gargoyles perched
she sang.
Is there anyone who’s seen those eyes
dismissing her?
Is there anyone whose lips she’s kissed complained?
Chorus: (play like intro)
Seven months and seven wonders,
Seven roads of the rain and thunder,
Seven hills of lamplight gleaming,
Seven turns towards where you’re dreaming,
Oh, to be back with you.
On a mission of the crossroad palms
Could function as a fine first prize for pain,
But picking up the bread crumb clues
Will light me up a new day’s dawn,
but strange.
In the shadow of the old north church
I courted her,
In the clanging of the cast iron bells,
her face;
While windows of the hil
distorted her,
I tumbled on my pride pitfall from grace.
Seven months and seven wonders,
Seven roads of rain and thunder,
Seven hills of lamplight gleaming,
Seven turns towards where you’re dreaming,
Lots of time to think it over,
Lots of blame to claim and shoulder,
I was wrong, I don’t deny it,
Please forgive me, would you try it?
Oh, to be back with you,
Oh, to be back with you.
