Night Shift – Siouxsie And The Banshees

——————————————————————————-

Tabbed by: Mick 2008

Only at night time-I see you
in darkness-I feel you
A bride by my side-I’m inside many brides Sometimes I wonder……
What goes on in your mind, always silent and kind
unlike the others……

Fuck the mothers kill the others
Fuck the others kill the mothers
I’ll put it out of my mind because…… I’m out of my mind with you
in heaven and hell with you……

My Night Shift Sisters await your
nightly visitor they
don’t bother me no no they
don’t bother me

C B x3

The cold marble slab submits at my feet with a neat dissection……
looking so sweet to me-please come to me with your
cold flesh-my cold love
hissing-not kissing
a happy go lucky chap-always dressed in black
he’ll come to you, he’ll come to you

My Night Shift Sisters await your
nightly visitor a new
vocation in life my
my love with a knife

Fuck the mothers kill the others
Fuck the others kill the mothers
I’ll put it out of my mind because…… I’m out of my mind with you
in heaven and hell with you…… I’m out of my mind with you
They don’t bother me no they don’t bother me no

Night Shift Sisters await your nightly visitor
Night Shift waiting for the Night Shift
Night Shift waiting for the Night Shift waiting for the
Night Shift waiting for the Night Shift

Song: Spellbound
Artist: Siouxsie and the Banshees
Album: Juju
Guitarist: John Mcgeoch

Intro/Verse – Electric with Mild distortion, Chorus, Reverb
Now on the Intro/Verse riff it may sound odd but the bass is filling in the bass notes
John plays the arpeggio so it is in fact correct I think!

E|--------------------0-------1--------------3----|
B|-------------3-3--3---3-3--3-3--------------3---|
G|----------5------------------------------5------|
D|------3------------------------------3----------|
A|---5----5----------------------2/3/5---5--------|
E|------------------------------------------------|

And the bass plays these notes behind the arpeggio

G|--------------------|
D|--------------------|
A|---5--3---2--2/10---|
E|--------------------|

Chorus – Acoustic Guitar (Heavily Strummed)

E|---5----7-----10-----9----7-----|
B|---6----8-----11-----10---8-----|
G|---5----7-----10-----9----7-----|
D|---3----5------8-----7----5-----|
A|--------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------|

There is also a 2nd electric guitar feintly playing an arpeggio over the chorus chords
I cannot decipher it.

Post-Chorus 1 – Electric with Mild distortion, Chorus, Reverb

E|----------------------|
B|------0--1--3---------|
G|-----1-1--0--0--------|

Water was running, children were running
You were running out of time
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the Lares shrine?
But ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend

We found you hiding, we found you lying
Choking on the dirt and sand
Your former glories and all the stories
Dragged and washed with eager hands

But ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
your city lies in dust

Water was running, children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Water was running; children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying
your city lies in dust
ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend

Hot and burning in your nostrils
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Your molten bodies blanket of cinders
Caught in the throes …….

Ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend

Your city lies in dust
