John Martyn - Bless The Weather
Assuming DADGAD tuning, key used is Dminor. The below is basic chord tonalities only &
doesnt show the changes to the extended chords though.
So use the above playing notes until I can generate a proper tab !! :
Dm7
Time after time, I held it
Gm7
Just to watch it die
Dm7
Line after line, I loved it
Gm7
Just to watch it cry.
Dm7
Bless the weather that brought you to me
Gm7
Curse the storm that takes you away
Dm7
Bless the weather that brought you to me
Gm7
Curse the storm that takes you home.
Repeat sequence above for rest of verses:
Wave after wave, I watched it
Just to watch it turn
Day after day, I cooled it
Just to watch it burn.
Bless the weather that brought you to me
Curse the storm that takes you home
Bless the weather that brought you to me
Curse the storm that takes you away.
Pain after pain I stood in
Just to see how it would feel
Rain after rain I stood in
Just to make it real.
Bless the weather that brought you to me
Curse the day you go away
Bless the weather that brought you to me
Curse the storm that takes you away.
Time after time, I held it
Just to watch it die
Line after line, I held it
Just to watch it cry.
Bless the weather that brought you to me
Curse the storm that takes you away
Bless the weather that brought you to me
Curse the storm that takes you away.
