GENESIS   Paul Kantner    . . . . . transcribed by Chris Hardy,Bedford,England.   

 

 

 INTRO : G  Em  G D Em A  Fingerpicked

VERSE  : A  G  D  Em  A

 

I play this with a capo at the 3rd fret,which puts it in C,but for simplicity the chords are given as if open in A.

 

The time has come for us to part

And think of living as it was

Into the future we must cross , must cross

I’d like to go with you :\\

 

You say I’m harder than a wall

A marble shaft about to fall

I’d love you dearer than them all,them all

So let me stay with you  ://

 

Break A7

 

And as we walked into the day

Skies of blue had turned to grey

I might have not been clear to say,to say

I’d never look away  ://

 

I know I’m feeling you inside

My life is rolling with the tide

I’d like to be an open ride, ride

Along with you  ://

 

Break

 

The time we borrowed from ourselves

Can’t stay within our hall to dwell

And living turns into a land of wealth

Let me come with you   ://

 

And when we came out into view

And then I find myself with you

And breathing felt like something new,new

Going along with you  ://

 

On the A chord, a 2 note hammer on/pull off is played as in this tab:

E ----0------------------

B ----2-----h-----3-----

G ----2------------------

D ----2-----h-----4-----

A ----0------------------

E ----0------------------
