Skyway keyboard

Skyway

• E

This is a very catchy tune from the excellent New Magnetic Wonder album.  This song has 
simple
chord progression that repeats throughout the song.  Getting the rhythm can be a bit tricky,
especially if you are trying to sing along.  Each of the chords listed below is actually 
up of a
3-note riff, with the downbeat on the second note.  I play them like:


E

D--0-2-2--|
A--0-2-2--|
E--0-0-0--|

A

G--0-2-2--|
D--0-2-2--|
A--0-0-0--|

Dbm

B--5-5-5--|
G--6-6-6--|
D--6-6-6--|


VERSE

E		 A
40 times you may question your lie
Dbm		 A
fortified with a hunting knife
E		 A
before you find out if you survive
Dbm	               A
questioning marks have turned into stars

for the record you remember the view
for a second time you get a two
40 days in the neon haze
festering dreams are dressed in vagaries

CHORUS

E		    A	           Dbm	    A
(do do do do do do) you follow the skyway	you follow your
E		    A		   Dbm				A
right of way        you follow the streets and the cars and the shadows and the stars

(alright) 40 lessons you may hear from the sun, now
you never listen to a single one
falling leaves whisper like thieves
now that you mind you live on stolen time

you follow the skyway, you follow your right of way
you follow the streets and the cars and the shadows and the stars

fist loaded with a furious disdain
your velocity will be your shame
fast motion like a curious flame
the best I can do is to turn my back on you

you follow the skyway
you follow your right of way
you follow the streets and the cars and the shadows and the stars

follow the skyway, you follow your right of way
you follow the streets and the cars and the shadows and the stars
streets and the cars and the shadows and the stars

Thanks, hope you enjoy!
