Earlier this week I posted a request for Peter Gabriel's "Solsbury Hill",
|
|
and a number of folks either sent the "nevada" version or directed me
|
|
there. (Thanks everyone!) It turns out that though the chords on "nevada"
|
|
are basically right, the tab for the instrumental bits weren't even close.
|
|
Also, the display of the chords over the lyrics was misleading. So, I
|
|
worked on it in order to improve the tab. The lyrics come from
|
|
'/pub/music/lyrics/g/gabriel.peter/volume.1'....I made some real minor
|
|
modifications. I'll send this to nevada after I've posted it.
|
|
|
|
The song IS in the key of B, but the capo should be on the FOURTH fret
|
|
rather than the second. It makes it sound a lot better! The chords of the
|
|
instrumental bits tend to be rapidly arpeggiated (perhaps they're
|
|
finger-picked, but I do better flat-picking quickly...), and the chords of
|
|
the verses are strummed, with some light appregiation prior to each vocal
|
|
phrase. [The vertical bars represent phrases, not actual measures].

"Son," he said "Grab your things, I've come to take you
|
|
home."
|
|
|
|
Instrumental: Section A (1X), then Section B (1X)
|
|
|
|
To keep in silence I resigned
|
|
My friends would think I was a nut
|
|
Turning water into wine
|
|
Open doors would soon be shut
|
|
So I went from day to day
|
|
Tho' my life was in a rut
|
|
'Til I thought of what I'd say
|
|
Which connection I should cut
|
|
I was feeling part of the scenery
|
|
I walked right out of the machinery
|
|
My heart going boom boom boom
|
|
"Hey" he said "Grab your things
|
|
I've come to take you home."
|
|
<Back home.>
|
|
|
|
Instrumental: Section A (1X), then Section B (1X)
|
|
|
|
When illusion spin her net
|
|
I'm never where I want to be
|
|
And liberty she pirouette
|
|
When I think that I am free
|
|
Watched by empty silhouettes
|
|
Who close their eyes but still can see
|
|
No on taught them etiquette
|
|
I will show another me
|
|
Today I don't need a replacement
|
|
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
|
|
My heart going boom boom boom
|
|
"Hey" I said "You can keep my things,
|
|
they've come to take me home."
|
|
|
|
etc.....
