Nick Mulvey starts with open strings and then switches to barred chords for
the chorus, and includes some fifths, but to keep it easy I have altered
it to two basic chord progressions; Am Am7 Em D and Am G D B7.

AmSoftly now in the eveniAm7ng dusk, a woman is singing to me;
She takesEm me back down the vista ofD my years, until I see
A boy, a child underneath the piano, in the boom of the tingling strings
Pressing the poised feet of his mother who smiles at him as she sings
Yearning to belong, yearning to belong
My heart beats with a ceaseless longing of a yearning to belong
In spite of myself, and all of these nursery songs
My heart beats with a ceaseless longing of a yearning to belong

Listen to me son, I'll tell you why your father's strong
Cause he can still say every single day, he's yearning to belong
Yearning to belong, yearning to belong
My heart beats with a ceaseless longing of a yearning to belong
In spite of myself, and all of these nursery songs
My heart beats with a ceaseless, meets with a peaceless burning to belong
