Chris Fuller did this marvelous tab for Plant & Krauss' take on this great song.
Chords are the same for Sam Phillip's (I think better) version.
Verse 1:
Cm G7
Strange things are happening every day
C Fm (Walking Bass F, G, G#)
I hear the music up above my head
G# Cm
Though the sight of my heart has left me again,
G Cm
I hear music up above
VERSE2
Cm G7
Secrets are written in the sky
C Fm (Walking Bass F, G, G#)
Looks like I?ve lost the love I?ve never found
G# Cm
Though the sound of hope has left me again,
G Cm
I hear music up above
CHORUS:
C Em
Standing in my broken heart all night long
Am F
Darkness held me like a friend when love wore off
C Em
Looking for the lamb that?s hidden in the cross
Am F
The finder?s lost
Dm C
I know I?ve loved you too much
F C F G
I?ll go on alone to get through
SOLO on Verse Chords:
VERSE 3:
Cm G7
I hear Rosetta singing in the night
C Fm (Bass F, G, G#)
Echoes of light that shine like stars after they?re gone
G# Cm
Tonight she?s my guide as I go on alone
G Cm
With the music up above
SOLO on Verse Chords and on the last Cm
