Bm F# And the nurse will tell you lies E F# Of a kingdom beyond the skies. A D But I am lost within this half-world, A It hardly seems to matter now. E Play me my song. F# Here it comes again. E Play me my song. F# Here it comes again. F#m F#m F#m G \ F#m F#m F#m Em / x2 F#m F#m F#m G F#m Just a little bit, Just a little bit more time, Time left to live out my life. Am la la la la la la la la la la D G D G D Am C#m Am C#m Am A E Play me my song. F# Here it comes again. E Play me my song. F# Here it comes again. E F# x6 D E x4 E F# x4 D E x4 }x2 D E F# x4 D E x4 }x2 D F#m F#m B Old king cole was a merry old soul, D F#m And a merry old soul was he. So he called for his pipe, B And he called for his bowl, D F#m And he called for his fiddlers three. F#m E But the clock, tick-tock, D On the mantlepiece - And I want, and I feel, and I know, and I touch, E F# Her warmth... E F# x4 E D F# E F# x4 E D F# D#m Shes a lady, shes got time, F# E F# Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your face. D#m Shes a lady, she is mine.

F# B C# F# B C# F# D#m Bbm G#m Ive been waiting here for so long F# And all this time has passed me by B F# It doesnt seem to matter now F# B C# F# B C# You stand there with your fixed expression F# D#m Bbm G#m Casting doubt on all I have to say. F# E F# Why dont you touch me, touch me, E F# E F# E F# E F# Why dont you touch me, touch me, B ( E F# E B E F# E F# E B E B ) - repeat several times Touch me now, now, now, now, now... E F# E B E B B C# F# B C# F# F# C# F# C# x4 --- [very fast] F# C# F# F# C# F# -------------------------------------------------------- [I recommend to play the last part like that, otherwise the fast part wouldn't be playable:] E - 7-7-9-9-9-7 F# - 9-9-11-11-11-9 B - 7-9-9-8-7-7 C# - 9-11-11-10-9-9 But the last F# chord play on 2-4-4-3-2-2, but I think it's obvious ;) Anyway this is one of my favourite Genesis songs, I know that my work is not 100% correct, but makes it able to play and sing at once, I hope you'll enjoy as much as I do, Wiktor Lublin, Poland 21.08.08 www.TAB6.com
