Subject: "Seven Years" Chords and Lyrics

I'd like to make things more interesting in the mailing list.
Apparently, a lot of us here are also musicians, and some of us
have learned to play L42 songs. 
I'd like us to share our knowledge of L42 songs on the list in the
form of chords, guitar tab, bass tab, etc.

I'll start off with "Seven Years" off the "Guaranteed" album.
I was fiddling around on my acoustic guitar, and almost by
accident came up with the chords. Here goes:

"Seven Years"
Level 42
Words and Music by Mark King
 
Intro chords:
E       D       C#7     F#m
 
        E
There's thunder rolling in your eyes
      A
It's raining in your heart
      Bm
What lies around the corner
         Bm
You have seen a hundred times
         E                                            A
But you never thought anyting like it would happen to you
        Bm
Baby's gone
    Bm
He walked out on you
 
Chorus:
F#m               D
Seven years have come and gone
C#7               F#m
All that time for you
        F#m                  D
And now both our hearts must beat the drum
C#7            F#m
To a different tune
E    D                 C#7  F#m
Send all those dreams away baby
 
        E
You can lose yourself in yourself
         A
Hurt yourself a little more
         Bm
Turn the key and hate the boy
         Bm
Forget a soul in distress, leave the real world to others
E                                         A
That's not the way he's coming back ever again
       Bm
Baby's gone
             Bm
Now what are you gonna do
 
 
(Repeat Chorus)
 
 
Bridge:
Em           F
Each time I see a love, a love that's dying
G                              F
I know what I would do, I know what I would do
    Em        F
But you can't see cos your heart's in the way
 
Girl you're blinded
G                                 F
And it's hurting so bad, and it's hurting so bad
    Em            F
But he's so gone, gone away and you can't find him
G                              F
Was there ever a day, just one day you were happy
  Em   F
Believe in the power of love, everlasting
G                              F
To the end of all time, to the end of all time
 
Solo chords:
 
E       D       C#7     F#m
(sorry, I can't transcribe Holdsworth's solo!)
 
E                                 A
In a funny way I don't feel sorry getting what you served
     Bm
Just you remember very well the lessons you have learned
         F#m                    D
And it's August now, your seven years are gone
C#7           F#m
All that time for you
 
E    D                 C#7  F#m
Send all those dreams away baby ...(repeat)
