UNDER THE MILKY WAY
The Church

Am Em7+ Fmaj7 G ( Em7+- 0 2 2 0 3 3)
Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty
Some of the breath fades with the light
I think about this loveless fascination
Under the milky way tonight

Lower the curtain down on Memphis
Lower the curtain down all right
I got no time for private consultation
Under the milky way tonight

CHORUS
G Fmaj7
Wish I knew what you were looking for
G (Em7, Am7, Fmaj7)
Might've known what you would find

And it's something quite peculiar
Something shimmering and white
It leads you here despite your destination
Under the milky way tonight

CHORUS

repeat 3rd verse

CHORUS

CHORUS

Peace, love, and soul,
Paul Zimmerman

Now the chords. There are two guitars. One plays these chords in
open position, and the shapes are as such:

Am Am7sus4 Fmaj7 G C
E-0-----3--------0-----3-----0--|
B-1-----3--------1-----3-----1--|
G-2-----2--------2-----0-----0--|
D-2-----2--------3-----0-----2--|
A-0-----0--------------2-----3--|
E----------------------3--------|

The other guitar is capoed up on the 5th fret, and the chord forms
are these (assuming that we treat the 5th fret as the nut):

Am Am7sus4 Fmaj7 G C
E-0-----0--------0-----0-----3--|
B-0-----3--------0-----3-----3--|
G-0-----2--------0-----2-----0--|
D-2-----0--------2-----0-----0--|
A-2-----2--------3-----------2--|
E-0-----0--------------------3--|

If you plan on playing this with only one guitar, I strongly
recommend using the second set of chords, as the high capoed notes
ring out very nicely and sound more like the whole song in general.
