 G                     C
 Lover  there will be another one
        G                C
 Who'll hover over you beneath the sun
   G                          C
 Tomorrow see the things that never come

 Today            (hold)

                 C            Gmaj7
 When you see me fly away without you
 C             G
 Shadow on the things you know
 C              Bm
 Feathers fall around you
     Am           D
 And show you the way to go
      C       G       G7 Cmaj7
 It's over,      it's o  ver

 Nestled, in your wings, my little one
 Is special, morning brings another sun
 Tomorrow, see the things that never come
 Today

 When you see me fly away without you
 C             G
 Shadow on the things you know
 C              Bm
 Feathers fall around you
     Am           D
 And show you the way to go

 It's over,      it's o  ver

GM7 means G major 7th. That's jazz notation. Gm7 is NOT the same as GM7.

I agree with ClassicManiac; Gmajor7th and Cmajor7th are the correct chords. As soon as I played through the first time, it was evident. Thanks, love this song!

Jeez, it's not rocket science. Capital (upper case) M means Major, lower case m means minor. It's that fooken simple.
