Van Morrison - A Sense of Wonder: chords

C D		          G
I walked in my great coat,
down through the days of leaves
C D		          G
No before, after, yes, after before
C         D			
We were shining our light into
     G
the days of blooming wonder
C        D              G			
In the eternal presence, in the presence of
         D
the flame

Chorus:
 G	 D/F#     Em	      G/B      C
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?
 G	 D/F#     Em	    G/B   C
Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright?
 G	 D/F#     Em	      G/B      C	
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder
         G
in the flame?

On and on and on we kept singing our song
Through Newtonards and Comber, Gransha and
the Ballystockart Road
With Spike and Boffyflow, I said I would
describe the leaves for Samuel and Felicity
Rich, red browney, half burnt orange and green

Chorus

Em		           Bm
It's easy to describe the leaves in the Autumn
Em		             Bm
And it's oh so easy in the Spring
Em		  Bm
But down through January and February
Am		        D
It's a very different thing

On and on and on, through the winter of our
discontent
When the wind blows up the collar and the ears are
frostbitten too
I said I could describe the leaves for Samuel and
what it means to you and me
You may call my love Sophia, but I call my love
Philosophy

Chorus:
Oh, didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?
Oh, didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright?
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder in
the flame?
Didn't I, didn't I come to bring you a sense of
wonder?
Oh, didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright?
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder in
the flame?

(In the flame) In the flame, child
(Didn't I come to bring you) A sense of wonder
in the flame
(Didn't I come to bring you) In the flame, child
(Didn't I come to bring you)

Wee Alfie at the Castle Picturehouse on
the Castlereagh Road
Whistling on the corner next door
Where he kept Johnny Mack Brown's horse
"O solo mio" by McGimsey
And the man who played the saw outside the city hall
Pastie suppers down at Davy's chipper
Gravy rings, wagon wheels, barmbracks, snowballs
A sense of wonder (Didn't I come to bring you)
A sense of wonder (Didn't I come to bring you)
(Didn't I come to bring you) A sense of wonder
(Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?)
(Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?)
(Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?)
(Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?)
