None of them
Van der Graaf Generator - The Undercover Man from the album Godbluff (1975). Transcribed by Cory ([email protected]), July 2010 F#m F# sus E D C#m F#m F#sus Here at the glass - F#m F#sus all the usual problems, all the habitual farce. F#m F#sus You ask, in uncertain voice, F#m what you should do, E D as if there were a choice but to carry on C#m miming the song F#m and hope that it all works out right. F#sus Tonight it all seems so strange - F#m/A F#sus/G# my spirit feels rigid, my body deranged; F#m F#sus still that's only from one point of view F#m/A E and we can't have illusion between me and you, D C#m my constant friend, ever close at hand - F#m you and the undercover man. E F#E/G# B/D# I re flect: 'It's very strange D to be going through this change G with no idea of what it's all been about E F G A B C#Bb/D Bb B5 E F G A B C#Bb/D except in the context of time...' Bb B5 C Oh, but I shirk it, I've half a mind not to work it all out. D C C#dim D G A Is this madness just the recurring wave of total emotion, D G A or a hide for the undercover man, D G A or a litany - all the signs are there of fervent devotion - D C C Cmaj7 C C Cmaj7 F or the cracking of the dam? C Cmaj7 C C Cmaj7 F F#dim Adim Cdim Ebdim Em It's cracked; smashed and bursting over you, D C there was no reason to expect such disaster. B Em EmMaj7 G/D A/Db B Em Now, panicking, you burst for air, EmMaj7 drowning, you know you care G/D A/Db for nothing and no-one but yourself G and would deny even this hand Bm D A G which stretches out towards you to help. Gmaj7 Cmaj7 C B But would I leave you in this moment of your trial? Gmaj7 Cmaj7 C B Is it my fault that I'm here to see you crying? Am Am+ Am These phantom figures all around you should have told you, Am+ G you should have found out by now, C if you hadn't gone and tried to do it all by yourself. Ab Bb C Db5 D5 Eb9 Sax solo over F minor riff Db Eb E B/D# D Ev-en now we are not lost: if you look out at the night G you'll see the colours and the lights seem to say E F G A Bb CBb/D Bb people are not far a-way, at least in distance, B5 and it's only our own dumb resistance C that's making us stay. D C C#dim D G A When the madness comes, let it flood on down and over me sweetly, D G A let it drown the parts of me weak and blessed and damned, D G A let it slake my life, let it take my soul and living completely, D C C Cmaj7 C let it be who I am. A D G A There may not be time for us all to run in tandem together - D G A the horizon calls with its parallel lines. D G A It may not be right for you to have and hold in one way forever D C C Cmaj7 C C Cmaj7 F and yet you still have time, C Cmaj7 C C Cmaj7 F you still have time.
