The Hourglass And The Landslide

• C(sus2)

I created the parenthetical notes to symbolize that they are in the chord but 
the emphasis on the stroke should be on the non-parenthetical portion.

So the chords are tabbed:   E-A-D-g-b-e

                 C(sus2)    x 3 2 0 3 3 

                 D          x x 0 2 3 2
            
                 Em7        0 2 2 0 3 3 
 
                (D)/F#      2 x 0 2 3 2

                 D/G        3 x 0 2 3 2

                (G)/F#      2 x 0 0 3 3

                 G          3 2 0 0 3 3

                 A          x 0 2 2 2 0

Intro/Verse

In this part I put an alternative phrase ending for phrases 1 and 3.  I think the 
alternate ending is more fun to play, but the first method sounds more like what is in the recording.

C(sus2)    D   Em7     (G)/F#    G  
                       (D)/F#--(D)/G-----(alternate)

C(sus2)    D   Em7              D(single-note piano) I hit open D on the & of 3 before the next phrase.

C(sus2)    D   Em7     (G)/F#    G
                       (D)/F#--(D)/G-----(alternate)

C(sus2)    D   Em7              D(single-note piano)

(VERSE)

C(sus2)       D                         Em7     (D)/F#      D/G
Why does it feel like you're comin' on?
C(sus2)           D                     Em7              D(single-note piano)
And why do I feel like it's never gone?
C(sus2)          D                                      
The tendrils of dark, like cerebral knives
Em7           (D)/F#       D/G
Cut straight to heart, hyposensitise,
C(sus2)           D                        A          
Perceptions are sharp, "working overtime"

           C(sus2)           D
Steppin" outside, steppin' outside

(CHORUS)
           G
It's a timeless dream
          D/F#
With a mindless scene
             Em7
Where the Sandstorm drifts
           C(sus2)
And the world turns rifting time,
G         D/F#            Em7         C(sus2)
In this Hourglass it's a landslide.
          G
From the hand you're dealin'
     D/F#            Em7
The Tarot reading is so misleading,
    C(sus2)
The cards burn, shift and glide,
G         D/F#              Em7         C(sus2)
In this Hourglass it's a landslide.

(VERSE)
The sense is surreal, like a battle won,
But now I can see, I've been overcome,
You took me apart in the candlelight,
Dissected my heart while anesthetized
And now I'm a slave to your darker side

Steppin" outside, steppin' outside

(CHORUS)
It's a timeless dream
With a mindless scene
Where the Sandstorm drifts
And the world turns rifting time,
In this Hourglass it's a landslide.
From the hand you're dealin'
The Tarot reading
Is so misleading,
The cards burn, shift and glide,
In this Hourglass it's a landslide.

Solo:  (VERSE)

          C(sus2)            D                   C(sus2)            D
Steppin" outside, steppin' outside     Steppin" outside, steppin' outside

(CHORUS)x2

End on C(sus2)
