[Gm] Came the night, [C] the mist dissolved the trees,
[Cm] And in [G] the broken [A] night, colours [Am] fly, fading [Dm] by.
[Am] [Cm]
[G]
Pale [Gm] and cold, [C] as figures fill the glade,
[Cm] Grey as [G] the whip they spin, [A] on and on, [Am] and on and on.
[Dm] [G] [Am] [Cm]
[G]
[Gm] Through the flames, [C] still summer [Gm] lingers on,
Though [Eb] the pictures [Cm] soon
[A] shed.
[D] [G] All [D]
our waves are asleep,
But [Bm] there appear in [D] the shades of dawn,
[Em] And [G] though young rise again,
All of the beasts is [D] in the sky.
[Gm]
There was once [C] a harvest in this land,
[Cm] Reap [G] from the turquoise sky, [A]
Harlequin, [Am] Harlequin.
[Dm] [Em]
[C] [Cm] [G]
[Gm] Dancing round, [C] three children fill the glade,
[Cm] Theirs was [G] the laughter in [A] the winding stream, [Em] [Am] and in between.
[Dm] [G]
[C] [Cm] [G]
[Gm] Close your door, [Cm] the picture [Gm] fades again,
[Dm] [Eb] From the flames [Cm] in the [Gm] [A] firelight.
[G]
[D] All our waves are asleep,
[Bm] But there appear in [D] the shades of dawn,
[Em] And [G] though young rise again,
All of the beasts [D] is in the sky.
[G]
[D] All is not [Am] lost,
[Bm] The light appears [D] in the shades of [Em] dawn,
And [Bm] when young [G] eyes can see,
All of the beasts [D] is but the back, but the back.

To start learning Genesis - (Digital Remastered 2008) Harlequin chords, build your understanding on these basic chords - Em, G, C, Cm, G, Gm, Bm, D, Em, G and D in sequence. A strategic approach would be to train at 78 BPM initially, and then accelerate to the song's tempo of 156. Fine-tune the capo based on your vocal range, ensuring it complements the key of C Major.
