Swan Song

• Intro

For the live version, I think the tuning is 1/2 step down and capo on 3rd fret.

Intro
F C/E Dm7 G C C G/B Am7 G F C/E Dm7 G


Chorus
C          G/B                 Am7
 I raise a glass for every note
             G             F
For every distant dream in hope
             C/E
That it may find
     Dm7           G
The change they seek
          C
In their mind

G/B Am7 G F C/E Dm7 G


Verse
C         G/B           Am7
  Silent leaves falling
            G                  F
Beneath the winter bramblings
     C/E
Fall time-ly into
Dm7         G
  November tidings
C           G/B              Am7
 I trample through the chesty
            G
Smoke with you
        F     C/E
From the old houses
         Dm7         G
Smell the brush and bra-mble


Verse
C          G/B           Am7
  See the traffic lights
         G              F
Bid adieu to all those
           C/E
West-ward bound students
Dm7            G             C
  Sight one I used to pal with


Bridge
           C/E
Winter consumes this place
Am7          C
  Gentle remains its pace
C               C/E
 And we carry on
Dm7              G
Oblivious to our Swan Song


Chorus
C          G/B                 Am7
 I raise a glass for every note
             G             F
For every distant dream in hope
             C/E
That it may find
     Dm7           G
The change they seek
          C
In their mind

G/B Am7 G F C/E Dm7 G


Verse
C          E/Ab             Am7
  And the end finds us too late
         G
Removing caps
             F
Outside the gates
        C/E
Of the old halls
   Dm7
We neglected
         G
All the old songs


Verse
C                G/B        Am7
But I still see lights bid adieu
            G                    F
To all the old friends and the fools
             C/E
Singing the new songs
Dm7               G
Away from all my old haunts
C                G/B               Am7
  The light may fade but never die
                G             F
There is a place for you and I
            C/E
Quite well known
        F                G
To the artists who have known

Chorus
C          G/B                 Am7
 I raise a glass for every note
             G             F
For every distant dream in hope
             C/E
That it may find
     Dm7           G
The change they seek
          C
In their mind

G/B Am7 G F C/E Dm7 G

Outro
C G/B Am7 G F C/E Dm7 G C
