Oh, to Be Back with You Songtext

von Steve Forbert

Dm (with variations shown at end of the song) G Am

In the shadow of the old north church I courted her
While the pigeons and the gargoyles perched she sang
Is there anyone who's seen those eyes dismissing her?
Is there anyone who's lips she's kissed complained?

Dm7 F G C C/B Am
Seven months and seven wonders, seven roads of rain and thunder
Dm7 F G C C/B Am
Seven hills of lamplight gleaming, seven turns toward where you're
Dreaming
Oh, to be back with you

On a mission of the crossroad palms, simplicity
Could function as a fine first prize for pain
But picking up the breadcrumb clues efficienctly
Will light me up a new days dawn, but strange

In the shadow of the old north church I courted her
In the clanging of the cast iron bell, her face
While the shadows of the hilltop shop distorted her
I tumbled on my pride, pitfall from grace

Dm7 F G C C/B Am
Lots of time to think it over, lots of pain to claim and shoulder
I was wrong, I don't deny it
C C/B Am
Please forgive me, would you try it
Oh, to be back with you
Oh, to be back with you

The Dm at the beginning, as well as throughout the song can be
Supplemented by changing the note played on the 6th (highest) string.
That is:

Dm G Dm7 (so you don't have to look it up)
