This website has provided me with endless chord progressions over the years and so the time has come
for me to offer something back! This song is beautifully sad, and there aren't enough recordings of it.
So play play play (and share) for Alice's sake...
G Em
Alice, Alice I'm well aware
C D
There are some strange things where you live
G
And I won't go there
G
Down which hallway and
Through which door
Em
What's this wonderland here for?
C D G
Turn my cards, queen of hearts, as you go there
G
Busy busy busy bees
Em
These humans are such mysteries
C D G
Floating around and never knowing what they want
G
So go forth
Em
Go forth with your morning dear
C D
With the sun's arms on your back and the love that you left behind
G
First of all it was the year of the boar
Em
And he greeted her with horns on a passage door
C D
In the middle of the traffic on the morning of our full moon
G
Fleeing into the coffee fields
Em
With strings of guilt tied to my heels
C
There's a man and he's searching
D
He's coming to reckon with me
G
Favor his hands, blackened by fire
Em
Favor our intentions and boyish desires
C D G
There's a reason that you came to me lucidly in my sleep
Em
Haaa
C
I am no coward
G
You're superhuman
D
Tapped into power
Em
Hoooo
C
Your load is heavy
G
Will you be ready?
D
When the giants come
G
I will be there
G
"You'll get yours"
Em
Came out of my mouth
C
To the man who tied my hands
D
I began to single out
G
Sir I know I've done many terrible things
Em
And I'm concerned to finally find me in my dreams
C
Such bad behavior
D G
I am not the same
G
I met all my rage
Em
Disguised as a man
An then an angel appeared with this briefcase in hand
C D
Didn’t speak when he reached, he just held me like you hold someone you love
G
Cradled I wept right out of my slumber
Em
And wrote it all down, this is what I remember
C D G
It's reality speaking and seeking in my sleep
G
Caught in the flow I just did what I do
Em
I worked with my karma
Em
And over time too
C D G
Theres a reason that you came to me lucidly in my sleep
Em
Haaaa
C
I am no coward
D
You're superhuman
G D
Tapped into a power
Em
Ooooh
C
The load is heavy
G
Will you be ready?
D
When the giants come
G
I will be there
G Em
Alice, Alice I'm well aware
C D
There are some strange things where you live
G
And I have been there
