Breathing ukulele

Breathing

• Dm

From the #1 charting UK album Never for Ever by Kate Bush
Fondly called by Kate as "my little symphony." 
Enjoy- it is possibly one of the most original songs ever written about nuclear 
war. Highly recommended. 

Dm   Bb/D
Out- side 

D/F#      Gm      D/A
    Gets in- side or

Gm/Bb   D/F#        G
        Through her skin. 

D/F#
    I've been out before 

     Gm                  C/E
But this time it's much safer in.


Dm       Bb/D  
    Last night,

D/F#    Gm        D/A   Gm/Bb
     in the sky, oh

D/F#    G
Such a bright light. 

D/F#
My radar send me danger 

Gm                C/E        Dm
But my instincts tell me to keep

        F
Breath- ing, 

Bb              Bb/C            Dm
("Out, in, out, in, out, in...")
 
        F
Breath- ing

Bb               Bb/C 
Breathing my mo-ther in, 

Dm         F
   Breath- ing

Bb       Bb/C
My be-lov-ed in, 

Dm        F
   Breath-ing

Bb              Bb/C
Breathing her nicotine, 

Dm        F
   Breath-ing

Bb             Bb/C
Breathing the fall-out in, 

Dm        F       Bb      Bb/C  Dm
   Out in, out in, out in, out in.


We've lost our chance. 
We're the first and the last, ooh, 
After the blast. 
Chips of Plutonium 
Are twinkling in every lung.

I love my 
Beloved, ooh, 
All and everywhere, 
Only the fools blew it. 
You and me 
Knew life itself is

Breathing, 
("Out, in, out, in, out...")
Breathing my mother in, 
Breathing my beloved in, 
Breathing her nicotine, 
Breathing the fall-out in, 
Out in, out in, out in, out in, 
Out in, out in, out in, out... 
("Out!")
