GUITAR I

One cold damp evening
The world stood still
I watched as I held my breath
A silhouette I thought I knew
Came through
And someone spoke to me
Whispered in my ear
This fantasy’s for you
Fantasies are “in” this year

My whole life flashed before my eyes
I thought
What they say is true
I shed my skin and my disguise
And cold, numb and naked
I emerged from my cocoon
While a half remembered tune
Played softly in my head

END

This is my first tab, I decided to write it because I didn’t found
the chords on the net. Fortunately Lolo, my brother in law, was there
to help me with this!

So there it goes:

So here we are waking
Savages shaking
The road that we’re taking
We’ve walked before

And if these times
Should seal our fate
You won’t see me
At Heaven’s gate

Danger is lurking
Evil is working
Yet here we are hiding
Behind our doors

Come out! Come out!
It’s time to grow
Enjoy the ride
One more time before we go

( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_chameleons/home_is_where_the_heart_is_crd.html )
According to Hoyle
All cards on the table
What else can you do
When life is unstable

The night’s growing colder
The enemy bolder
But as you grow older
You ceased to care

But if we run
Or try to hide
And turn our face
There’ll be no hopes
To keep alive

According to Hoyle
All cards on the table
Reactions cool
The world unstable

According to Hoyle
All cards on the table
What else can you do
When life is unstable

Savages shaking
So here we are hiding
Danger is lurking

When the world is too much with me
Please leave, just go away
Before I lose my mind completely
Please leave, just go now
In the sidestreet something’s moving
Look around, look around
All around you
Walls are tumbling down
Stop staring at the ground

I can practically see your face
And another revolutionary falls from grace
Hear the thunder in your brain
Not enough
much rain

When the light of life has gone
No change for the meter
Then the king of spivs will come
Selling blood by the litre
When nothing’s sacred
When the demon’s knocking on your door
You’ll still be staring down at the floor

“Not too many hours from this hour
So long?
The storm comes
Or is it just another shower?

G|-----------------------------|
D|-5---------------------------|
A|-------3-5-------------------|
E|-----------------1------3----|

Picking up the pieces
Half alive in a nine ‘til five
Vacant eyes
Is it any wonder?
Primal scream at the TV screen
Close your eyes

Now the world is too much with me
Please leave, just go away
Is nothing’s sacred anymore
Now the demon’s knocking on your
still your staring down at the floor

Not too many hours from this hour
So long?
The storm comes
Or is it just another shower?
Not too many hours from this hour
So long’
The storm comes
Or is it just another shower?
Now the rain has come
The rain has come

It’s just coincidence
Well you can talk that way but I have to say I don’t believe in it
It was a chill of chance, I decided to dance the days away
And I wasn’t worried at all sneaking through the back door
No, I wasn’t worried at all, dreams are what you live for

Waiting for the light to turn green- carry me home
To the kindest eyes that I’ve ever seen – carry me home
Well, can you tell me how will it be now? How will it be?
Can you tell me, how will it be now? How will it be?

Well we were younger then and the days were long and slow
But were we wiser then? I couldn’t say, I wouldn’t know
But I wasn’t worried at all, I had someone to run to
And I wasn’t worried at all, I knew which way the wind blew
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_chameleons/tears_tab.html )
Kicking out the chaos and gloom- carry me home
And I watched the ceiling spin round the room- carry me home
Well, can you tell me how will it be now? How will it be?
Can you tell me, how will it be now? How will it be?

Am D G D C X4
La la laa

In the real world how will it be?
In a cold world how will it be?
In a lonely world, how will it be?
Am G (break) E E7
Will the ghosts just stop following me?
In the real world how will it be?
In a cold dead world how will it be?
Beg and crawl how will it be?
Am G (break) E
Will the ghosts just stop following me?

Now drawn into the sun, he was the only one
He cries out to everyone, for his only son
From the window of my room now
I can see the color blue now
You can’t even look in my eyes now, what would you see?
If you could look into my eyes now, what would you see?

And so I’ll remember you
I’ll remember the days and the thousands of ways you pulled me through
And dream of all the things we’ve seen
The thousands of faces, the thousands of the places we have been
Now you have no phone and you have no name and you have no number
And it comes to an end in the blink of an eye
