Serenade chords by Roxy Music

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

Verse:

F
Darkness falls
          C
Around your window pane
 F
A light still burns
            C
But just a smouldering flame
G         C
Is it the end of another affair
  G          C
An open engagement with gloom
  A
Or will you be smiling
     D
When the sun conjures up
 G            C A G
A broken spell au clair de lu-u-une?

Verse:

F
Silhouette
        C
As you draw the shade
F
Cloak of night
           C
You know it's tailor-made
G
G-Plan gymnastics
    C
By an everglow fire
G          C
Could never mean the same
  A
As summer enchantment
   D
By an old mill steam
   G           C A G
From courtly love to costly ga-a-ame

Instrumental:

F   C

Bridge:

Bb     Gb
 Maybe I'm wrong for seeming
Bb      Gb
 Ungrateful, unforgiving
Dm             C
Oh! how it hurts now you're finally leaving
A         G
I couldn't take anymore

Verse:

F
Now's the time!
      C
Let's hide away
F
Sacred hours
         C
Saved from yesterday
G           C
Boo-hoo willows weep around you still
G           C
Mirror reflections of dew
  A           D
But waterfall pages of an open book
   G          C
Could shower new horizons soon
     A
Call the tune
     G
Will you swoon
   C
As I croon
   F
Your serenade
