Intro: A Em D A Em D A Em how long before I get in D before it starts, before I begin A Em how long before you decide D before I know what it feels like A Em where to, where do I go D if you never tried then you'll never know A Em how long do I have to climb D up on this side of this mountain of mine Interlude: A Em D A Em D A Em look up, I look up at night D planets are moving at the speed of light A Em come up, up in the trees D every chance that you get is a chance you seize A Em how long am I can stand D with my head stuck under the sand A Em I'll start before I can stop D or before I see things the right way up G A Bm all that noise, all that sound G A Bm all those places that i got found Chorus: G Bm and birds go flying at the speed of sound D G to show how it all began G Bm birds come flying from the underground Gbm G if you could see it then you'd understand Interlude: A Em D A Em D A Em ideas that you'll never find D all the inventors could never design A Em the buildings that you put up D Japan and China all lit up A Em the sign that I couldn't read D all the light that I couldn't see A Em somethings you have to believe D but others are puzzles, puzzling me G A Bm all that noise, all that sound G A Bm all those places that i got found Chorus: G Bm and birds go flying at the speed of sound D G to show how it all began G Bm birds come flying from the underground Gbm G if you could see it then you'd understand Interlude: D G A Bm all those signs I knew what they meant D something you can't invent G A Bm Some get made, and some get sent D ooh Chorus: G Bm and birds go flying at the speed of sound D G to show how it all began G Bm birds come flying from the underground Gbm G if you could see it then you'd understand Gbm G Oh when you see it then you'll understand
I think the intro/interludes work fine like this:
G:————–7–5—————7–5————–7–5——–7–5-
C:-5—–5————3—–3———–3—–3————2—2——
E:———————————————————————-
A:———————————————————————-
Play that twice except don’t play the last 3 notes the second time through
I usually use DDUUDU for this song (and many others) as it works quite well but try and play around with strumming patterns while listening to the original, you could find something better 🙂
At “All those signs I knew what they meant something you can’t invent Some get made, some get sent ooh” All the D’s should be E’s
It’s kind of a tricky chord but I think Ddim instead of D sounds better in the interlude.
Is there a strumming pattern to this song or do you just play single cords?
