[Intro]

Bm  D

Bm  E  D

 

 

[Verse 1]

     Am           C

She wore a black tiara

     Am             D  C

Rare gems upon her fingers

         Am                C

And she came from distant waters

       C                  G

Where northern lights explode

    Am            C

To celebrate the dawning

          Am          D  C

Of the new wastes of winter

 Am              F

Gathering royal momentum

C      D   E        F G Am

On the icy road

 

 

[Verse 2]

     Am           C

With chill mists swirling

     Am             D  C

Like petticoats in motion

         Am       C

Sighted on horizons

       C           G

For ten thousand years

    Am            C

The lady of the ice sounds

          Am          D  C

A deathly distant rumble

    Am                        F

To Titanic-breaking children lost

C      D   E               F G Am

In melting crystal tears

 

 

[Chorus]

G                 A             Bm

Oh, sunshine --- take me now away from here

       G            A           Bm

I'm a needle on a spiral in a groove

         G          A

And the turntable spins

         D          E

As the last waltz begins

         G

And the weather-man says

A                   Bm   D Bm E D

Something's on the move

 

[Verse 3]

     Am           C

Capturing black pieces

     Am             D  C

In a glass-fronted museum

     Am           C

The white queen rolls

       C                  G

On the chessboard of the dawn

    Am            C

Squeezing through the valleys

          Am          D  C

Pausing briefly in the corries

    Am           F

The Ice-Mother mates

C           D   E          F G Am

And a new age is born

 

 

[Chorus]

G                 A             Bm

Oh, sunshine --- take me now away from here

       G            A           Bm

I'm a needle on a spiral in a groove

         G          A

And the turntable spins

         D          E

As the last waltz begins

         G

And the weather-man says

A                   Bm   D Bm E D

Something's on the move

[Verse 4]

     Am           C

Driving all before her

     Am             D  C

Un-stoppable, un-straining

     Am           C

Her cold creaking mass

  C               G

Follows reindeer down

    Am            C

Thin spreading fingers seek

     Am               D  C

To embrace the sill-warm bundles

      Am           F

That huddle on the doorsteps

C           D   E          F G Am

Of a white London Town

 

 

[Chorus]

G                 A             Bm

Oh, sunshine --- take me now away from here

       G            A           Bm

I'm a needle on a spiral in a groove

         G          A

And the turntable spins

         D          E

As the last waltz begins

         G

And the weather-man says

A                   Bm   D Bm E D

Something's on the move

 

 

[Verse 1 - Reprise]

     Am           C

She wore a black tiara

     Am             D  C

Rare gems upon her fingers

         Am                C

And she came from distant waters

       C                  G

Where northern lights explode

    Am            C

To celebrate the dawning

          Am          D  C

Of the new wastes of winter

 Am              F

Gathering royal momentum

C      D   E        F G Am

On the icy road

 

 

[Chorus]

G                 A             Bm

Oh, sunshine --- take me now away from here

       G            A           Bm

I'm a needle on a spiral in a groove

         G          A

And the turntable spins

         D          E

As the last waltz begins

         G

And the weather-man says

A                   Bm   D Bm E D

Something's on the move
