Follow picking pattern of first two bars of intro for the lines of the
verse with the Em and G progression. Then onthe Am and G lines, use the
intro kick with the Am only. You'll see what I mean when you listen to
the song. I tried to represent the rhythm with spacing, but listen to
the song for exactitude. Same applies for the placement of the intro
licks in the verse.
(Verse 1)
Em G
Oooh, well I've been thinkin'
Em G
there are some things that are troublin' me
Am F G
and I just can't keep it in
Em G
Across the ocean
Em G
A life is spiraling to the ground
Am Bm
with miles still to fall a voice is screaming out:
(Chorus)
G F
Please don't leave me 'cause I
C G
just couldn't take it
G F
I'm so afraid and I
C G
just can't fake it
G F C G
Fear inside me won't you just let go
G F
'Cause there's nothing worse
C G
than a broken heart
(Verse 2)
Em G
Oooh, so here I stand
Em G
On the edge of something new
Am F G
that you will always give to me
Em G
With tears of sorrow
Em G
My life is spiraling to the ground
Am Bm
with miles still to fall my voice is screaming out:
(Chorus)
(Accordion solo)
(Chorus 2x)
There it is. I think I've got the order right, but I may be wrong. I
took the lyrics straight from the CD booklet (though I took the liberty
of adding in the "Oooh"'s for extra effect). Questions, comments and praise
can be sent to Oster-toaster ([email protected]). If you would like
to c hat about Mary's Danish, feel free to write as well. I'm no expert
or historian, but I sure love their stuff!
Thank you,
