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!
------------------------------- This tab is based on one of the many acoustic versions that were performed by Skin and Ace of Skunk Anansie on some of the European Radios before the launch of Black Traffic in September 2012. It is therefore different from the album version. Ace plays all open chords (he loves that!) with a couple of personal variations that I tabbed below the song. And yes, this is my 1st tab ever... SKUNK ANANSIE ARE GREAT! -------------------------------
EE7 I should be walking on air Am But I'm drowning with my DmE Hands around your neck E7 The current is strong Am Should I take you with me DmE Breath forever gone E7 I should have broken my fall FM7 I should stand up for myself Gsus2/Dsus4 For what it's worth
CHORUS C You are all I see E As I lose my grip FM7 Still I keep on diving, DmGsus2/Dsus4 Keep on diving, down, down, down
E I should be floating on air Am But I'm falling slowly DmE Drag you down the well E7 The moment is long Am No one stays to watch my Dm black parade to hell E Our sentiment go FM7 I will standup for myself Gsus2/Dsus4 For what it's worth
C You are all I see E As I lose my grip FM7 Still I keep on diving, DmGsus2/Dsus4 Keep on diving, down, down, down
FM7 Cause there's a road Am That I see Gsus2/Dsus4 There's a road C Coming back to me FM7 Cause there's a hole Am That I see Gsus2/Dsus4 Coming back, back, back
C You are all I see E As I lose my grip FM7 Still I keep on diving, DmGsus2/Dsus4 Keep on diving, down, down, down C You are all I see EE7 As I lose my grip FM7 Still I keep on diving, DmGsus2/Dsus4. C Keep on diving, down, down, down, down, down...
