Taboo VI: The Homecoming - Going To Alaska
For live versions, in standard tuning either go with above or:
A D A E
or
E A E B
for the main pattern
Album Version:
-1/2 step
G C G D G C G D
G C
The jacaranda are wet with color,
G D
and the heat is a great paint brush, lending color to our lives,
G C
to the air, and to out faces; but I'm going to Alaska
G D
where there's snow to suck the sound out from the air.
C G
G C
Up, yes, in the branches,
G D
the purple blossoms, go pale at the edges;
G C
there is moaning in the shifting of the sap, and I see in them traces
G D
of last year, but then they hadn't grown so strong,
G C
and their limbs were more like wires. Now they are cables.
G D G
thick and alive with alien electricity, and I am going to Alaska,
C G
where you can go blind just by looking at the ground,
D
where fat is eaten by itself
C G
just to keep your body warm.
G C
Because from where we are now, it seems, really,
G D
that everything is growing in a thousand different ways;
G C
that the soil is soaked through with old blood and with relatives
G D
who were buried here, or close to here, and they are giving rise
G C
to what is happening. Or can you tell me otherwise?
G D
I am going to Alaska, where the animals can kill you,
G C
but they do so in silence, as though if no-one hears them,
G D
then it really won't matter. I am going to Alaska.
C G
They tell me that it's perfect for my purposes.
