**********************************************************************
CHORDS:
-------
EADGBE
Am (x02210)
C (x32010)
Em (022000)
Ok, this song uses basically three chords, Am, C and Em. But every
time you play Am you pick it in a certain pattern and same goes for
C and Em. So I'll show you how you pick each chord and then just
type the lyrics with chord names above them.
Whenever there's Am in the song you play it like this:
Am
E|------0-------0-------0-------------|
B|----------3-------1-------0---------|
G|----2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2---|
D|------------------------------2-----|
A|--0---------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------|
Whenever there's C in the song you play it like this:
C
E|------0-------0-------0-------------|
B|----------3-------1-------0---------|
G|----0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---|
D|------------------------------2-----|
A|--3---------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------|
And whenever there's Em in the song you play it like this:
Em
E|------0-------0-------0-------------|
B|----------3-------1-------0---------|
G|----0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---|
D|------------------------------2-----|
A|------------------------------------|
E|--0---------------------------------|
OK, here comes the song:
INTRO:
------
Play Am picking pattern four times
VERSE 1:
--------
Am
Rows of houses, all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
Em
all these things in all positions
Am
all these things will one day take control
C Em Am
and fade out again
C Em
and fade out
VERSE 2:
--------
This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
be a world child form a circle
before we all, go under
and fade out again
and fade out again
BRIDGE:
-------
C
Mmmm, mmm, mmmm
Em
Mmmm, mm, mmm [something like that :)]
Am
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Am
Mmm, mmm, mmm
C
Mmmm, mmm, mmmm
Em
Mmmm, mm, mmm
Now when the 3rd verse starts, another guitar starts playing. I've
seen them play this in concert and the other guitar has a capo
on the 12th fret. Here comes the tab, and all fret numbers are
relative to the capo.
Am
E|-------0--------|
B|-1-0-------0-1--| On the first Am in the third verse
G|-----2---2------| play this four times.
D|----------------|
A|----------------|
E|----------------|
Em
E|----------------|
B|-1--0----1-0----|
G|------0------0--| First Em in third verse, play this 2 times.
D|----------------|

E|----------------|
Am [second Am]
E|-------0----------------0--------|
B|-1-0-------0-1----1-0-----1-0----|

B|-1-0-----1-0------1-0------------|
G|-----2-------2--------2-0---0-2--|
D|--------------------------2------|

E|---------------------------------|
OK, that is the whole picking pattern.
And remember, capo on 12th fret.
VERSE 3:
--------
Am
Cracked eggs dead birds
scream as they fight for life
I can feel death can see its beady eyes
Em
all these things into frution
Am
all these things we'll one day swallow whole
C Em Am
and fade out again
C Em Am
and fade out again
The second guitar in the outro plays the same pattern as in
verse 3. The C Em are always the same but the Am has slight
variations. It's not difficult to hear. Anyway, I think they're
all tabbed out in the tab for verse 3. Just look and you'll find
the Am picking patterns.
OUTRO:
------
C
Mmmm, mmm, mmmm
Em
Mmmm, mm, mmm
Am
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Am
Mmm, mmm, mmm
C
Mmmm, mmm, mmmm
Em
Mmmm, mm, mmm
Am
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Am
Mmm, mmm, mmm
C Em Am
Immerse your soul in love
C Em Am
Immerse your soul in love
[end by playing Am picking pattern once]
