Here is my version of this song from the "Then They Were Three Album" which is one
of my favourite albums :) I think the chords are quite correct - otherwise please
let me know. Enjoy!
Esus4 E
The curtains are drawn
Amaj7 A
Now the fire warms the room.
Am B7sus4
Meanwhile outside
Bm7 C#m
Wind from the north-east chills the air,
F#m A
It will soon be snowing out there.
Am B7sus4
And some there are
Bm7 C#m
Cold, they prepare for a sleepless night.
F#m A
Maybe this will be their last fight.
C#m A
But we're safe in each other's embrace,
C#m A
All fears go out as I look on your face-
D E7add11
Better think awhile
G/D D A
Or I may never think again.
A7sus2 A7sus2add13 A7sus2(II) Dmaj7 Gmaj7(no3)
If this were the last day of your life, my friend,
Gm F#m B7
Tell me, what do you think you would do then?
E A/E
Stand up to the blow that fate has struck upon you,
E A/E
Make the most of all you still have coming to you, or
F#m F#m/E F#m/Eb
Lay down on the ground and let the tears run from you,
C#m A B B/A
Crying to the grass and trees and heaven finally on your knees
E A/E
Let me live again, let life come find me wanting.
E A/E
Spring must strike again against the shield of winter.
F#m F#m/E F#m/Eb
Let me feel once more the arms of love surround me,
C#m A G#sus4 G#
C#
Telling me the danger's past, I need not fear the icy blast again.
B6/C# C# B6/C# C#
C# B6/C# C#
Laughter, music and perfume linger here
And there, and there,
Wine flows from flask to glass and mouth,
As it soothes, confusing our doubts.
And soon we feel,
Why do a single thing to-day,
There's tomorrow sure as I'm here.
So the days they turn into years
And still no tomorrow appears.
Better think awhile etc...
