INTRO
[Emaj7] [Amaj7] [Abm7] [G7]
VERSE 1
The [D] writing in red turned the [Am7] week on its head
It [Emaj7] took us all [A] back to the [Abm7] abbey [G7]
And [D] contacting friends sorting [Am7] out odds and ends
We [Emaj7] have to go [Amaj7] back to the [Abm7] abbey [G7]
The [D] engineer’s late have the [Am7] huskies escaped
INTERLUDE

[F#6] [B♭m7] [A♭m7] [G6] [A6]
VERSE 2
Come [D] gather and share, come ex [Am7] change and repair
It [Emaj7] took us all [Amaj7] back to the [Abm7] abbey [G7]
The [D] light hits the floor through a [Am7] gallery door
We [Emaj7] have to go [Amaj7] back to the [Abm7] abbey [G7]
It’s [D] empty I know, missing [Am7] shattle and show
INTERLUDE
