In the intro and verses, play E5(7)^ as a pickup into each new measure of E5(7). The standard Em7 chord works fine too, though the chords listed are what Neil uses in the live setting. When the song is performed live, the D chords in the intro and verses are played as Bm.

Verse

E5(7)                    D
Can you imagine that, an itch too sensitive to scratch

    E5(7)                                   Bm
The light that falls through the cracks, an insect too delicate to catch

  G                             D                                  A7
I hear the endless murmur every blade of grass that shivers in the breeze

        G                            D                            A7
And the sound that comes to carry me across the land and over the sea

Chorus

                 C   D                    E5(7)
And I can't look up, fingers of love move down

                 C     D                    Asus
And I can't look back, fingers of love move down

(Repeat Verse)

Chorus

                 C   D                    E5(7)
And I can't look up, fingers of love move down

               C       D                    A7
And I can't be helped, fingers of love move everywhere

             C            D
And there is time yet, to fall by the way

         Asus
From the cradle to the grave, from the palace to the gutter

Asus
Beneath the dying waves of the sun, black fingers of love

     G                             D                          A7
Into waves of joy and clarity your fallen angel walked on the sea

        G                            D                          A7
And I'm playing in the shallow water laughing while the mad dog sleeps

Chorus

                 C   D                    E5(7)
And I can't look up, fingers of love move down

                C       D                    A7
And I wont't be helped, fingers of love move everywhere

             C         D                  E5(7)
And there is time yet, for you to find me

       C     D                    E                        
All at once, fingers of love move down
