From: "Crimson/Red"
Interesting chords and voicings, open chords and complex textures. Here�s
my reading of this beautiful song.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHORDS/SPECIAL VOICINGS
There are different ways of playing this chord I call �Fsus2/A�. I think I
hear different voicings in verse and chorus (as pointed out below). But it
is of course not necessary to play these variations, I just think it sounds
nice. You may as well just take the first voicing and use it throughout the
song. One can even use it to substitute the �Fmaj7(add9)� in the chorus.
They�re all really close.

I met him in a Dublin bar
Dm7 Gsus4 G
The sorcerer from Wichita
C Cmaj7 [ch]Fsus2/A[/ch]
A wizard and his baby grand
Dm7 Gsus4 G
A range of powers at his command
Am Fmaj7
He summoned ghosts of lovers sleeping
Fmaj7 Dm7
Soldiers dying far from home
C Cmaj7
Like a stone into a well
Fmaj7(add9)
I fell beneath their spell
