Finn) NOTE: -- Another of these songs where, although I've given chords, what Neil Finn is playing guitar-wise is a chord with different, little fills in between the lyric lines. Bm Why do I kid myself Why do I scream for pleasure Em F# Bm It's four in the morning should know better But she can weave a spell Want it to last forever Em F# Bm Making me feel like somebody special CHORUS A F# G A Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep) F# G A Before it gets too late (just go to sleep) F# G A Doing damage to my brain (just go to sleep) F Well here we go again Though I look everywhere I never seem to find it Always a shadow around a corner Drown it in alcohol Stuck in the elevator Hard to remember in the morning Chorus Tell you about myself If you're in the mood to listen Baby you don't know who you're kissing This is a lonely world You are a strange companion When you get what you wanted You want to leave A F# G A Honestly I want to free myself F# G A From the burden of inaction F# G A Honestly I want to raise myself F# G A To any plane I can imagine Honestly I want to free myself From the burden of inaction Honestly I want to raise myself To any plane I can imagine B E B Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep) E B Before it gets too late E B Doing damage to my brain (just go to sleep) E B Well here we go again E B E B (just go to sleep) I want to free myself E B E B (just go to sleep) I want to raise myself Closing: B A G F# G A B A G F# G B (Transcription by Marck Bailey) Don't Dream It's Over (N. Finn) NOTES: -- Neil's guitar is tuned down one half-step for this song. If you're going to try and play along, you'll have to do the same. -- For all you bar chord haters, this is one song you won't like. Every chord is a bar chord. of course, you don't -have- to play it that way. the first chord is on the 7th fret, second is on the 4th, etc. if you are having any difficulties with these chords, contact me (marck@nwu.edu). INTRO: E(9)* E9* E7sus* E(9) C#(9)* There is freedom within, there is freedom without A G# Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup E(9) C#(9) There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost A But you'll never see the end of the road G# While you're traveling with me CHORUS A B Hey now, hey now E(9) C#(9) Don't dream it's over A B Hey now, hey now E(9) C#(9) When the world comes in A B They come, they come E(9) C#(9) To build a wall between us A B We know they won't win Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof In the paper today tales of war and of waste But you turn right over to the T.V. page CHORUS (Chords under Hammond organ solo: E(9) C#(9) A G#) GUITAR SOLO: ----5-7-5--------4----|----5-7-5----------------|----5-7-5--------4-| --5--------5-----5----|--5--------5---7>9-7-----|--5--------5-----5-| 6------------4-4----4-|6------------4-------9---|6------------4-4---| 7------------6-6------|7------------6---------9-|7------------6-6---| ----------------------|-------------------------|-------------------| ----------------------|-------------------------|-------------------| --------------5-------------5--5>7-10----------19-| ------5---5>7-----------5>7-----------12-12>14----| ----5------------4>5-4----------------------------| --7-----------------------------------------------| 5-------------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------------| Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us Don't ever let them win * UNUSUAL CHORDS E(9) x79977 E9 x79777 E7sus x797(10)7 C#(9) x46644 (Transcription by Marck Bailey) Hole in the River (N. Finn/ E. Rayner) NOTES: -- For the intro, if you sit on an Em chord on the 7th fret (X79987), you can find your way around the main melody line of the keyboard that Eddie Rayner is playing. (The guitar part at that point is just doing that damped string/percussive thing, so when playing it alone on an acoustic, it helps to play around on the Em.) -- The psychedelic instrumental break is composed entirely on C#m (a last-minute idea from Nick Seymour that saved this song from being scrapped.) All the fun stuff is going on in the keyboards, while the guitar just sits on that one chord. I would suggest creating a guitar solo for this section (which is what Neil does when it's performed live). INTRO: Keyboard doodling around Em C D A Em There's a hole in the river where my auntie lies C D A Em From the land of the living to the air and sky C D A Em Left her car by the river left her shoes beside C D Am Through the thorns and the bushes I hope she was ...

Finn) NOTES: -- the opening of this song and the verses use a lot of limited picking of just a few strings. the best thing to do is check out the "unusual chords" at the end of this file and, when playing, only pick the strings that you're actually fingering. INTRO: D* D4* (Bm)* A* D You came D4 Out of this world to me Bm My life A Parted like the Red Sea D We flowed D4 Bm Easy between the rocks and stones A Never seemed to stop us D The years D4 Ended in confusion Bm A Don't ask me I don't know what happened D But I am D4 A man with a mission Bm A Must be the devil I don't know G A Find me marching to a different tune G A It's hard to let go G Of all that we know Bm A As I walk away from you G A Hurled from my home G Into the unknown Bm A D Bm A As I walk away from you Reveal whatever you desire To you it may be death defying Black day In the coldness of winter Black words Slipping off my tongue I say forget it--it's over As a dark cloud covered up the sun It's hard to let go Of all that we know As I walk away from you The sun always sets With room for regrets As I walk away from you G A Give it to me G Give it to me Bm A Your inspiration G A Give to receive G Find all we need Bm Em Bm Em Bm Em As I walk away D G I'm just a slave to ambition Bm A Tension your permanent condition D G So much you've always wanted Bm A G A Too much given' you a sore head D G Bm I walk away G A D G Bm As I walk away from you G A D G Bm As I walk away from you [Repeat to fade] * UNUSUAL CHORDS D X577XX [these two chords should be used D4 X557XX throughout the song] these next two chords are only used in the intro: (Bm) DD97XX [D= dampen this string; more for percussive feel than for an actual tone] (A) 5776XX (Transcription by Marck Bailey) In The Lowlands (N.

Finn) NOTES: -- Listening to this song, the guitar work sounds very complex. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the verses are constructed on two chords. However, Neil is adding a lot of other little licks and "side chords" in between to make things interesting. (for exam- ple, one of his faves is an Em form like this: X7978[10].) I would suggest you do your own goofing around and figure out what works. -- The bridge ("Frost on the window pane...") is particularly tricky in this song, but once you get the fingerings down, it flows beauti- fully.
