Capo 4 / all Chords relative to Capo
 
[Intro]
 
Am G 4x
 
[Verse 1]
 
Am                                       G
   It was back in Little Bend that I saw you
                          Am
Light was changing on the water
                     G
Where birds above it flown
Am
   There was pain in your eyes
       G
So you vanished in the night
                      Am
Missouri River in the distance
                   G
So I lied upon the lawn
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
D                                G
  I remember walking against the darkness of the beach
D                             G
  Love is like a ghost in the distance, ever-reached
D                            G
  Travel through the night because there is no fear
C
Alone but right behind 
D                     G
  until I watched you disappear
 
[Chorus]
                       Am
I'm moving through the dark
                G
Of a long black night
                     Am
Just moving with the moon
                 G
And the light it shines
                      Am
And I'm thinking of a place
                     G
And it feels so very real
                        Am
Just moving through the dark
 
G
 
[Guitar Solo]
 
Am G 10x
 
[Verse 2]
 
G
 
Am                          G
   Once I had a dream I was falling from the sky
                         Am
Coming down like running water
                  G
Passing by myself alight
Am                                     G
   In the morning, I would wake to the sound of summer falls
                                 Am
Like little whispers through the signs
 
G Am
 
[Chorus]
                       Am
I'm moving through the dark
                G
Of a long black night
                   Am
I'm looking at the moon
                 G
And the light it shines
                      Am
And I'm thinking of a place
                     G
And it feels so very real
                        Am
Just moving through the dark                    
 
G
 
Am G
 
[Bridge]
 
Em          D             C
   Come and take my hand, babe
          Em          D                    C
There's a turn in the road that we've been taking
Em           D       C
   But it'll set you free
                  Em            D                   C
Because there's a rhythm in the way that we've been moving
                Em            D                   C
Yeah, there's a darkness over there, but we ain't going
 
D
 
[Verse 3]
 
G
See it through through my eyes
Walk me to the water
Am
Hold my hand and something turns to me
G
Love me every night
Drown me in the water
Am
Hold my hand and there's something turning me
G
See it through my eyes
Love me like no other
Am                                      Em
And hold my hand and something turns to me
                  G
And turns me into you
 
[Harp Solo]
 
G C Em 6x
 
[Verse 4]
 
G
Lead me through the light
Pull me from the water
C                                   Em
Hold my hand and something turns to me
              G
Turns me into you
 
C Em
 
G
Just see it through my eyes
Love me like no there
C                                   Em
Hold my hand and something turns to me
              G
Turns me into you
        C      Em
Turn to me
     G       C      Em
Into you

Great one, thanks.

Good job. I've been playing this a lot. The only difference I do is I mute the high E on the G chord and fret the third of the B... so just move the finger up a string. The regular g sounds too bright to me. What's this chord called?
