Subject: Chord Req: Paxton 'And Lovin' You'
Here is my stab at the chords for this great song, and a link I found to an mp3 snippet . Since this goes well beyond my chording ability, I would certainly appreciate any help that any of you can give. That ol' Hawk is blowing today and I hope to do the song at our Song Circle on Saturday -

thanks, Chris

AND LOVIN' YOU (Paxton/Gibson)
Mp3 sample - http://www.snapshotmusic.com/webstore/processtype.asp?ProductID=4&ProcessType=1

Intro --    A   C D Bm E A

1.                              
(C) That cold Chicago wind, (A) is howling down the street,

The (Dm) rain has turned to sleet

(Bm6) If I de-(E)cide to go, (Bm6) it will com-(E)mence to snow,

It's (A) overdue

(D)'Twas on a night like this, I (A) blew in through your (C#m) door (A7)

I asked for kindness, and you (F#7) gave me that and (Bm) more (G7)

You taught me (E) how to do, the (A) things that lovers (F#7) do

Like (Bm) comin' through, (E) and lovin' (A) you   (Bm - E - A)

2.
(C) I've go my banjo tuned, (A) but now I've lost the band

I (Dm) must have missed the turn

(Bm6) I never (E) learn it seems, (Bm) my music (E) is my dream

It's (A) what I do

(D) They've closed the hall, and (A) put away the micro-(C#m)phone (A7)

I'm all alone, and I lay (F#7) scratchin' at the (Bm) strings   (G7)

But then my (E) banjo sings, as (A) banjos often (F#7) do

Of (Bm) coming through, (E) and loving (A) you   (Bm - E - A)

3.
(C) We heard John Lennon play, (A) he sung Norwegian Wood

We (Dm) thought he'd hung the moon

(Bm6) The sunlight (E) on your floor, (Bm6) you didn't (E) work 'til four,

That (A) afternoon

(D) You took a stranger to an (A) unfamiliar (C#m) shore,   (A7)

Another country, where he'd (F#7) never been be-(Bm)fore   (G7)

You taught him (E) how to do, the (A) things that lovers (F#7) do

Like (Bm) comin' through, (E) and lovin' (A) you (2x last time)
