STREETS OF ARKLOW VAN MORRISON
Chords are C Em throughout.
Play Em7 with hammer-on to Em for effect
Em7 = 020000
Em = 022000
The C chord is embellished in some instances ( ".. gay perfusion..") with hammer-on-off of the middle finger on 4th string, then hammer on-off middle-finger on 3rd string, just before returning to the Em:
C Em
-3-3-3-3-3-3-0-

-2-0-0-0-2-0-2-
-0-0-2-0-0-0-0-

-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
Em
C
And as we walked
Em
Through the streets of Arklow
C
Oh the colour
Em
Of the day wore on
C
And our heads
Em
Were filled with poetry
C
And the morning
Em
A-comin' on to dawn
Em
C
And as we walked
Em
Through the streets of Arklow
C
And gay perfusion
Em
In god's green land
C
And the gypsy's rode
Em
With their hearts on fire
C
They say "We love to wander,"
Em
"Lord we love to roam..."
C
"Lord we love to wander,"
Em
"Lord we love to roam..."
Em
C
And as we walked
Em
Through the streets of Arklow
C
In a drenching beauty
Em
Rolling back 'til the day
C
And I saw your eyes
Em
They was shining, sparkling crystal clear
C
And our souls were green
Em
And the grass did grow
C
And our souls were green
Em
And the grass did grow
C
And our souls were green
Em
And the grass did grow
Em
C Em
C
And as we walked
Em
Through the streets of Arklow
