steve forbert – oh, to be back with you lyrics

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)
