Ballad For My One True Love Chords

Ballad for My One True Love
Mason Jennings
Capo 1  ----> I'm not too proud to use a capo. Maybe someday. I did not see the need to change the tuning.
(I could be wrong) The song seems to play well this way. Corrections and comments welcomed.

Intro: F   Dm   Gm   C7 (x2)

F                            D7
Sleeping in a cherry tree -- High above a monastery
Gm                                  C7
Where the bells are ringing slow -- To say farewell when hours go

F
And all the while I'm dreaming of
D7
The ballad for my one true love
Gm                                     C7
Searching for the perfect way to say -- I love you

    And god bless the babies -- That sleep in you
F                C7                        Dm

Sleeping in a motel room -- Underneath a silver moon
Gm                            C7
With the windows open wide -- I can hear the stars go by

And all the while I'm dreaming of
D7
