A great song that I have performed with my band many times and I use these chords.
Capo 4
Strumming pattern for most of the song is DUUDUU
Chords Used (frets relative to capo)
C Em D Am G
E-x--0--x--x--3-|
A-3--2--5--0--2-|
G-2--2--4--2--0-|
D-0--0--0--2--0-|
B-1--0--3--1--0-|
e-0--0--0--0--3-|
(the D is a C chord moved up 2 frets)
Optional Intro (Not in Milo Greenes version but I add one)
C Em D C D (strum once then pause)
If you want to add a bit of interest to the chord progression I do the following:
For the first C flick on and off the B string every down strum after the first, Em same
with the flick off/on on the A string then with both the D and the second C use your
pinky on the high E string on the 5th fret for the D and the 3rd fret for the C with a
flick on and off.
Under the autumnC tree
The chair where you wouldEm swing
A yard so full oDf leavesC
DComfort me
A man that resembles Cme
Watching his young lady sleeEmp
Now I'm off toD dreamC
DComfort me
AmIs this my old shape, my mind is awCay,
GHow long have you been goneD
The colAmd winter aged the soft of youCr face
DAnd I cant move on
Instrumental with Ooo's
C Em C Em
My good morninCg sun
Fish from an early hEmunt
I wait buDt you're goneC
DLinger on
AmIs this my old shape, my mind is awCay,
GHow long have you been goneD
The colAmd winter aged the soft of youCr face
DAnd I cant move on
CLinger on (Linger on)
EmLinger on (Linger on)
DI cant move on
This 'Linger On' section is repeated 4 times with the same chords with the chorus lyrics
and a changed melody sung on top and then Ooh's from this backing singer.
