Way Away by Toad the Wet Sprocket off the "Bread and Circus" CD
contributed by Ryan Houlette ([email protected]) another in the "This is how I play it, guys" series you should really hear the original song to get the rhythms right
[intro] DEmG (3x)
(When you play the D, you should hammer on the A on the 3rd string)
[verse1] DEmG Line of people to pass you by, DEmG Posing sympathy with its whitewash eyes DEmG Ladies feigning their mourning cries DEmG And the men shaking hands
[chorus] AG Weigh Away AG Way away GC All the pictures in your mind G As you're passed the thousandth time EmG Thousandth photograph
[verse2] DEmG Listen to sympathetic lies DEmG As their reasons change under mourning guise DEmG With the gentlemen feigning sorrowed sighs DEmG And drinking champagne
[chorus] AG Weigh Away AG Way away GC As all the people pass and pose G You hold back the tears and hold EmG On to memories
[verse3] DEmG Small talk hangs like a dirty cloud DEmG Saying nothing real but deafening loud DEmG An urge to run away from the crowd DEmG And mourn all alone DEmG Make a promise to no-one DEmG Wondering if you'd been worthwhile DEmG Turn away from the chatter DEmG And the hungry smiles
