Early song writing
Having always enjoyed writing songs and playing them to his friends, Stevenson eventually started collaborating with John Perry of The Only Ones in the middle of 2004. Culminating in a set of four well received acoustic demos, they began with a series of low key gigs around London and Edinburgh before embarking on a recording an acoustic EP that saw a limited release and was sold at live concerts

Freddie Stevenson ~ Blind Architect
Beautiful new song that he's done acoustically on a podcast &
is up on his myspace/reverb nation. It's (unusually for Freddie) written
in standard, meaning that I can actually work it out.
Should be on his 3rd album, hopefully...
Chords
Fsus2 [x87077] or [x87070] Can't quite hear which he's using but I think
the former
C [x32013] for the intro and the first time in each verse, then
[x32010] for the other two times
Am7 [x02213]
Em6 [022013]
Fmaj7 [xx3210]
Csus2/G [330010]
Gsus4 [320010]
Csus4 [x33010]
E7 [076700]
E7/A [570700]
A? [570500] (no idea if this is right. It's the same chord that stumped
me in the interlude of Easy Now)
Throughout the song the D string in the C & Gsus4 chords and the G string in
the Fmaj7 are hammered on (middle finer), listen for it & you can hear it.
The Em6 is pulled off to Em every time it's played
by removing the index finger from the B string.
In the intro at the end of ever second bar it's played,
the D string is dropped from the Fsus2 & from the C.
Capo 5
Intro
Fsus2 C (x4)
Verse
Fsus2 C
It's that time of year
Am7 Em6
When the signs of life reappear
Fmaj7 Csus2/G Gsus4
And the tide will be coming in soon
Fmaj7 Gsus4 C Csus2 C
We must harvest the past years of the moon
Chorus (same as verse chords)
It's that time of day
When you & I have nothing left to say
We must find a new way to start
Oh it was a blind architect who built the heart
Play intro chords x2
Verse
It's that time of night
When the dead start coming back to life
And the stars burn bright in the gloom
And I am wreathed in these memories of you
Chorus
It's that time again
We must ask the old question
How did we grow so far apart?
Ask the blind architect who built the heart
Bridge
Fsus2 C E7 E7/A A?
Fmaj7 Csus2/G Gsus4
Fmaj7 Gsus4 C Csus2 C
Chorus
Fmaj7 Csus2/G Gsus4
How did we grow so far apart?
Fmaj7 Csus2/G Gsus4
How did we grow so far apart?
Fmaj7 Csus2/G Gsus4

Fmaj7 Gsus4 C Csus2
