G F#m F F#m
All those things I ever thought would never end,
C Am
To think they now are memories
C Dmaj7/A
Since we’re in the band
G F#m F F#m
Watch the airplanes swaying, coming in to land
C Am C Dmaj7/A
Then my world is hanging in someone else’s hands
G F#m F F#m
And if I have done something, you have to let me go
C Am C Dmaj7/A
Think of me as someone, someone that you know
G F#m F F#m
But if I don’t hear something, pretty soon from now, ill
C Am C C7
disconnect completely, see how that works out
C Am
C/G C7
Gm Gm/A Gm/Eb F Gm
I wasn’t daring, not much a chancer
Gm Gm/A Cm F Gm
Oh my darling, why won’t you answer?
Gm Gm/A Gm/Eb F Gm
Se-ven AM, midnight in Dover
Gm Gm/A Cm F Gm
Sun’s comin up now, I guess it’s over.
Gm Gm/A Gm/Eb F
Gm
Playing his guitar while he’s dying of cancer
Gm Gm/A Cm F Gm
Oh my father, why won’t you answer?
Gm Gm/A Gm/Eb F Gm
Se-ven AM, midnight in Dover
Gm Gm/A Cm F Gm
Sun’s comin up now, I guess it’s over.
The guitar noise that follows, uses mainly these chords:
B F#m
And
Cm A#m Gmaj7
Since the piano part is played in 3/4 tempo, the bottom note of the chord is often
played as the bass.
Look at the intro part – and listen to the song – to get the rhythm right.
