Standard Tuning

Intro: Dm C G Dm X2

Daylight come
Daylight go
How far will it reach
Ain’t nobody know
And when the dawn breaks
The cradle will fall
And down come baby
Cradle and all
Now I know you need the dark
Just as much as the sun
But you’re signing on forever
When you ink it in blood

(Hit beat with thumb on guitar)
A.E.I.O.U.E.I.O.U.A.E.I.O.U.I.

I used my state of the art
Technology
Supposed to make for better living
Are we better human beings
We’ve got our wires all crossed
Our tubes are all tied
And I’m straining to remember
Just what it means to be alive
A life worth living
Now you can feel it in your chest
Building like little bullets
Just building up the nest
And you build it up strong
And you fill it up with love
And you pray for good rain
All from the lord above

A.E.I.O.U.E.I.O.U.A.E.I.

I used my state of the art
Technology
Now don’t you forget it
It ain’t using me
Cause when the power goes out
I got over me
Cause the powers going out
I mean the powers going out
I mean it the powers going out
I really mean it the powers going out

Note:
Use this riff as a guide line. C and G are one downstroke each.
