I tried to put the chords over the lyrics according to how they change.
INTRO: G
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 G
We were shining our light into the days of blooming wonder
C D G D
In the eternal presence, in the presence of the flame
CHORUS:
G D/F# Em D/B C
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?
G D/F# Em D/B C
Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright?
G D/F# Em D/B C G
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder----- in the flame?
C D G
On and on and on, we kept singing our song
C D G
Thru Newtonards and Comber, Gransha and the Ballystockart Road
C D G
With Spike and Boffyflow, I said I would describe the leaves for Samuel
& Felicity
C D G D
Rich, red, browney, half burnt orange and green
CHORUS:
G D/F# Em D/B C
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?
G D/F# Em D/B C
Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright?
G D/F# Em D/B C G
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder----- in the flame?
BRIDGE:
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
C D
It's a very different thing
C D G
On and on and on, through the winter of our discontent
C D G
When the wind blows up the collar and the ears are frostbitten too
C D G
I said I could describe the leaves and what it means to you and me
X D G
You may call my love Sophia, but I call my love philosopy
CHORUS:
G D/F# Em D/B C
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?
G D/F# Em D/B C
Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright?
G D/F# Em D/B C G
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder----- in the flame?
CHORUS:
G D/F# Em D/B C
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder?
G D/F# Em D/B C
Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright?
G D/F# Em D/B C G
Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder----- in the flame?
