Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Doing another one from the album today. This song is super simple, so I'm sure you won't have any problems with it. I have included the lead too. I like to pick the bass note of every chord before the strum, it adds some more flavor! I might also have a cover up if you want to check it out: https://goo.gl/YP0nO2
No Capo, Standard tuning
C/G: 3x2010
[Verse] C Here's the start of a familiar theme Em But it's still new to me AmC/GF My sight is vivid three nights and oh C Oh, I don't want your pain Em I don't need anything AmC/GF Though you're the reason why I feel alone C I hear your silent scream Em Your weaving memory AmC/GF The lines across our faces change, you know C Stuck in a solid state Em Your grip is just in case AmC/GF Yeah, everyone has felt that way before
[Chorus] AmEm Fluorescent dream AmC/GF You mean more than you know to me AmEmAmC/GF I'll sew you in to this vacancy
[Verse] C I feel your spreading fire Em Your soul searching eyes AmC/GF My hands are up and they are empty C An ocean painted red EmAmC/GF Thrashing your arms in it when you want to make it but you think you won't C My picture is plain and dull Em Fill it with what you want AmC/GF I feel the best when I'm bound to the floor C The glow is bright and loud Em But I'm better written down AmC/GF We are here standing with our bare feet in the snow
[Chorus] AmEm Fluorescent dream AmC/GF You mean more than you know to me AmEmAmC/GF I'll sew you in to this vacancy
