Anyway the piece is pretty straight foward, of course listening
to it over and over will help.
The * is just to show you that the verses are almost the same,
except the line marked with the *
The ** means this chord is played in a bar with a funky meter
probably somethig like 3/8 but I am not totally sure.
Also the outro I am not completely sure of, but I think
I am close.
Unbroken Chain
--------------
Am C
Dm F
Blue light rain,
Csus4 C
well unbroken chain,
Am Eb *
Looking for familiar faces
F Em G C/G G Am C
in an empty window pane.
Dm Fsus4
Listening for the secret,
Csus4 Am
searching for the sound
C G/B Am
But I could only hear the preacher
G F Em G C/G G
and the baying of his hounds.
Am C
Dm F
Willow sky, woh,
Csus4 C
I walk and wonder why,
F G *
They say love your brother,
F Em G C/G G Am C
but you will catch it when you try.
Dm Fsus4
Roll you down the line poor boy,
Csus4 Am
drop you for a loss,
C G/B Am
Ride you out on the cold railroad
G F Am
and nail you to a cross.
||: G C Fsus4 F :|| 4 times
Am C
Dm F
November and more,
Csus4 C
as I wait for the score,
Dm7 Cmaj7 *
They're telling me forgiveness
F Em G C/G G Am C
is the key to every door.
Dm Fsus4
A slow winter day
Csus4 Am
a night like forever
C G/B Am
sink like a stone,
G F Em Dm C Dm
float like the feather.
||: G C Fsus4 F :|| 4 times
Cm7 Fmaj7 Dm7 Em** G Gsus4
Cm7 Fmaj7
Lilac rain, unbroken chain
Dm7 Em** G Gsus4
Song of the Saw-Whet owl.
Cm7 Fmaj7
Out on a mountain, it'll drive you insane
Dm7 Em** G Gsus4
Listening to the winds howl.
Cm7 Fmaj7
Unbroken chain of sorrow and pearls,
Dm7 Em** G Gsus4
Unbroken chain of sky and sea.
Cm7 Fmaj7
Unbroken chain of the western wind,
Dm7 Em** G Am/G G
Unbroken chain of you and me.
Outro: A7 C D9 Cmaj7 D7 Gsus4
Bm Em C Em Bm G
A Em (or something like this!!)
