Subject: RE: Chord Req: Greek Lightning - Jez Lowe
Hello chaps. Slight variation on what's been said above but I find it works better for me. Incidentally, I think Jez is an absolute gem and I can't understand why he's not more famous. His lyrics are poetry and demand to be listened to carefully. Maybe he'll be more recognised when he's "late".
Dm                                             F
I promised to show you Greek lightning,
Dm                                     Am
Oh and your heart it was easily won,
Dm                                     F
Away from the drinking and fighting,
Dm                                        Am
With nights in the taverns and days in the sun,
Dm                                 F
We could leave drunken Saturday nights,
                Bb                   F             C
And them cold, damp Wednesday sign-ons,
Dm                  G                     Dm      F
And see new skies lit up with Greek lightning.
F                                                            Bb
And dreams let you down; they just let you down,
                F               G    Dm    F
But they never leave you.
