Biography:
The Jesus and Mary Chain are a chaotic, noisy indie quartet formed in Scotland, blending the Beach Boys' sunny pop with the Velvet Underground's black-leather cool. Brothers Jim Reid and William Reid, from East Kilbride, Glasgow, Scotland were the primary songwriters. "The JAMC" released a constant string of albums, singles and EPs until their demise in 1998. Having influenced many post-punk and noise rock bands, the group finally reunited in 2007.

April Skies
by the Jesus and Mary Chain, from the album Darklands
tuning: all strings 1/2 step down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)
chords and lyrics transcribed by John Spencer
(This is an old favourite -- always amazes me what
they do with just three chords. I find they mostly
strum the bass portions of chords, then sometimes
play the entire chord -- see what works for you.)
E EEE A
Hey honey whatcha trying to say
AAA B
As I stand here don't you walk away
A E
And the world comes tumbling down
EEE A
Hand in hand in a violent life
AAA B
Making love on the edge of a knife
A E
And the world comes tumbling down
A
And it's hard for me to say
E
And it's hard for me to stay
A
I'm going down to be by myself
E
I'm going back for the good of my health
B
And there's one thing I couldn't do
A
Sacrifice myself to you
E
Sacrifice
(solo)
E A E A B A E
E
Hey baby I just can't see
A
Just what you mean to me
E
I take my hand and I fake my words
A
I'm just your long-time curse
B A
And if you walk away I can't take it
E
But that's the way that you are
A
And that's the things that you say
E
And now you've gone too far
A
With all things you say
B
Get back to where you come from
A
I can't help it
E
Under the April skies
A
Under the April sky
E
Under the April sun
A
Under the April sky
E
ooh-ooh-oooh
A
ooh-ooh-oooh
E
ooh-ooh-oooh
A
ooh-ooh-oooh
E
Under the April sun
A
Under the April sun
E
Under the April sky
A
Under the April sun
E A
Under the April sky
E
Sun grows cold, sky gets black
A
And you broke me up and now you won't come back
E
Shaking hand, life is dead
A
And a broken heart and a screaming head
E
Hey hey
A
Under the April skies
E
Under the April sun
A B A
Under the April sky
E
Under the April sky
