COMMENT
Tune to concert A (440Hz).Chords shown in TAB format at the end of this document.
Roman numerals indicate the fret position for barre chords. E.g. Cm7(III) means barre C minor 7 at the third fret, while A(O) means open Amaj chord folk style (no barre). The forward slash '/' in the lyric of VERSE 1 indicates where the associated chord change occurs.
Played arpeggio on the following chords (see TAB below for positions). Vocal comes in rubato against these chords at the 5th measure.
Bm7/A Em7(O) Your lovely face, your lovely face, your lovely...
COMMENT
For the more skilled players in the crowd, these arpeggios are actually played picking harmonics above the 12th fret with the right hand. If you don't know what I'm talking about, just play the chords in the normal way.

Chorus sequence will be challenging for some. It's one chord per beat. Also, the Em7 is played at VII position from the 2nd chorus on. See TAB.
What I wouldn't / do / right / now / to see your / lovely / face

Smiling on the ocean, I'm flying through the air You know I'm travelling so much travelling these days Then what should I, should I care? Finally arriving where I was born to be Doesn't mean to say your lovely face can't be with me...
