from the songs album Islands
/=either: one beat in a measure; splitting measure;
Repeat same chord this measure
^=splitting a beat, i.e., chord comes in on a half beat count
Ex.: c /^g/b / bbo7 ; the g/b played
1 2 & 3 4 on the and after 2
Gj7 / / cj7 |cj7 / / / |gj7 / / cj7 |cj7 / / / |
Gj7 |/ |d-7 |/ |c
Blue misty morning, an empty street in ol' paree
|g/b |a- |a-/d |
She appeared like the angel of destiny
Gj7 |/ |d-7 |/ |
He spent a lifetime tryin' to reach beyond that rainbow
C |g/b |a- |a-/d |
And found when you look down it gives you vertigo.
E- |a9 |d7 |g9 |
The dancehall is deserted where lonely worlds collide
C |b+ e- |a-7 |a-/d |
This must be where dreams explode before your very eyes
G |g/f#|g/e |g/f
While the world outside grows more insane
|c |g/b
Bein' with you, i feel no pain
|a- a-/d / / |gj7 |c /^g/b / bbo7 |
True like blue, right as rain
A- a-/d / / |gj7 / / cj7 |cj7 |gj7 / / cj7 |cj7 ||
Right as rain.
Gj7 |/ |d-7 |/ |
I hope real soon i'll be hearing from 'ya
C |g/b |a- |a-/d |
I'll be in the wings, i'll be cheering for you
Gj7 |/ |d-7 |/ |
Funny how people think your life is so complete
C |g/b |a- |a-/d |
When it's really you who envies the man on the street.
E- |a9 |d7 |g9 |
I must've strayed from a path wandering through the catacombs
C / / / |b7+ bb7+ |a-7 |a-/d |
And you came along to guide my restless spirit home
G |g/f# |g/e |g/f
I can't tell you why, no i wouldn't try to explain
|c |g/b
Bein' with you, i feel no pain
|a- a-/d / / |gj7 |c /^g/b / bbo7 |
True like blue, right as rain
A- a-/d / / |gj7 / / cj7 |cj7 |gj7 / / cj7 |cj7 |
Right as rain.
|d /^b- / e-7 |e-7 |c / / fj7 |fj7 |fj7 ||
G |g/f# |g/e |g/f
It's all in the cards, it's all in the game
|c |g/b
Bein' with you, i feel no pain
|a- a-/d / / |gj7 |c /^g/b / bbo7 |
True like blue, right as rain
A- a-/d / / |gj7 / / cj7 |cj7 |gj7 / / cj7 |cj7 |
Right as rain.
