[Cm]
[Eb] [Cm]
[Eb] The pupil is twelve, [Cm] attractive withdrawn
[Eb] In a midnight blue [Cm] school uniform
[Dm] Lips just a little [Bbm] too full for her face
[Ebm] Distant eyes [F] full of space
[Ebm] [F]
[Ebm] In her posture no trace [F] of coquette
No [Dm] defiance
[G] She [Eb] fingers the fret, [Cm] looking forlorn
[Eb] Crossing her legs [Cm] where her tights have been torn
[Dm] Starts as her mother [Bbm] comes into the room
[Ebm] And the afternoon [F] grows still
[Ebm] [F]
[Ebm] And her mother feels a chill
[F] Shivers and buttons [Dm] her coat
I [G]
[Eb] gently correct [Cm] the curve of her back
[Eb] And open her book [Cm] in the now empty flat
[Dm] At the classical piece [Bbm] I've had her prepare
[Ebm] And her arms are bare as [F] she plays
Then [Ebm] [F]
[Ebm] I draw back behind [F] her ear
A few [Dm] strands of hair gone [G] astray
She [C] [Fm]
[Gm] [Eb] [Ebm]
[E] [Bb]
[Eb] shows me her bracelet, [Cm] the lesson is done
[Eb] We turn it around between [Cm] the finger and the thumb
[Dm] We sit face to face and [Bbm] it seems to be that
[Ebm] The face is the face of [F] the cat
[Ebm] [F]
[Ebm] Touching the place where [F] Bruce will be
[Dm] And I press my hair [G] flat
She [Eb] comes into my lap, [Cm] I turn around
[Eb] Her hands clasp my neck and [Cm] her feet skim the ground
[Dm] Her skirt travels up [Bbm] under my palm
[Ebm] Other people sit looking [F] so calm
As [Ebm]
if listening to the distant sound of a bird flying [Dm] along
The
[Fm]
[Gm] [Ebm]
[E] [Bb]
[Eb] [Cm]
[Eb] guitar lesson left [Cm] no traces at all
[Dm] Now from afar it [Bb] seems to [Bbm] resemble
A [Ebm] strange composition [F] in oil of [Ebm] a man
[F] [Dm] [D]

To learn Steven Wilson - The Guitar Lesson chords, these are the chords to practise in sequence: Bbm, Ebm, F, Ebm, Dm, G, Eb and F. A good strategy is to initiate at 77 BPM and then accelerate to the track's regular speed of 154 BPM. Align the capo with your vocal depth and chord choice, bearing in mind the song's original key: Eb Major.
