EADGBE Tuning

When playing the F chord during the verses, oscilate  between the open 
low E and the F on the F barre chord in other words … lift your index finger 
off the F chord so the open E sounds and then hammer back on the F note)
you'll hear it in the song. This also happens at the end of the bridge
with the G chord (oscilating the F# and G bass notes) and the C chord 
(at half the intervals of the G chord before it with the B and C bass notes)

F   
I woke up to bells this morning, I woke up to birds 
                      Dm                        Bb
I woke up to someone yawning and that yawn was hers 
F
I was dreaming of a scene where all my life was cursed 
                                 Dm                      Bb
By the Law of Love which states that things will just get worse 

Chorus:
         C                                  Bb               Dm  
When she turned 'round and said she loved me so much that it hurt 
          C                     F
I thought it must be April the First 

I put my hand upon my heart and swear I never leave 
That she wanted love not just a room she could come to 
I recall her asking me what I was born to do 
I said, "There's no place for me, I'm simply passing through" 
When she turned 'round and said she loved me so much that it hurt 
I thought it must be April the First 

Bridge:
      G            Am       C                G
And by the Law of Averages, this won't last long 
G                F         Am             G
By the look of happiness, she'll soon be gone 
G           Am              C              G   
But by the looks of things, I could be wrong 
             C
I could be wrong 

So we went down to Glittertown and bought ourselves a ring 
When she announced that now she was in love with everything 
But I could not unlock the pessimism in my soul 
Surely scenes disasterly and rings and things get sold 

When she turned 'round and said she loved me so much that it hurt 
I thought it must be April the First 


And by the Law of Averages, this won't last long 
By the look of happiness, she'll soon be gone 
But by the looks of things, I could be wrong 
I could be wrong 

I woke up to bells this morning, I woke up to birds 
I woke up to someone yawning and that yawn was hers 
I was dreaming of a scene where all my life was cursed 
By the Law of Love which states that things will just get worse 

When she turned 'round and said she loved me so much that it hurt 

Yah when she turned 'round and said she loved me so much that it hurt 

Well she turned 'round and said she loved me so much that it hurt 

I thought it must be April the First
