Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
This song is on piano but it still sounds good on guitar. I struggled a bit between E minor and C,
neither sounded correct but they were close. Although the 3rd chord in the progression sounds minor if you
play C/E it sounds perfect.
NO CAPO
Standard Tuning: EADGBe
Voices: (Dm) (F) (C/E) (G)
Intro
Dm F C/E G
[Hook]
Dm F C/E
Street dreams, close your eyes
G
Take a bite to the memory
Dm F C/E
Street dreams, this is the moment
G Dm
The moment that feels like forever
F C/E G
This is the end to where I began
Dm
And it feels like forever
F C/E
They say time flies
G [cut off G](Dm)
Down from sky and says never
(F) (C/E) (G lighty) begin to fade out (Dm even lighter) fade out
I look down... all I see is never
And all I know is all I know...
--Bass Line then Percussion dominates the rap and there is more voices. The piano doesn't play but the
progression works (Dm F C/E G) if you choose to play it with the rap--
[Verse 1 - Black Thought:]
I was born faceless in an oasis
Folks disappear here and leave no traces
No family ties nigga no laces
Less than a full deck nigga no aces
Waitin' on Superman losing all patience
Gettin' wasted on an everyday basis
I'm stuck here can't take a vacation
So fuck it, this shit is damnation
This is reality mane
Ain't no surprise I've been bangin' without any mane
What is this gotta be brave
When into the night I'm going to go quietly mane
Life is a bitch and then you live
Until one day by death you're found
I tried to keep both of my feet on the ground
But I know my head is surrounded by clouds
Spirallin' down, destined to drown
Forever is just a collection of nows
Off on my own, nowhere is my home
Approaching infinities fork in the road
When I was young something I often was told
It's not a bargain if it costs you your soul
Costs you your pride, caution aside
I'm gone with the wind and I'm long for the ride
Wish I could rest and open my eyes
But time ain't finna fly down from the sky
A place where the lonely love
Not another soul's there, only us
[Bass Line]
Street dreams, close your eyes
Take a bite to the memory
Street dreams, this is the moment
Dm [hard]
The moment that feels like forever
F C/E G
This is the end to where I began
Dm
And it feels like forever
F C/E
They say time flies
G [cut off G](Dm)
Down from sky and says never
(F) (C/E) (G) (Dm)
I look down... all I see is never
(F) (C/E) (G)
And all I know is all I know...
Dm [hard]
I woke with a tear drop
F C/E G
All I know is what I know
Dm
I woke with a tear drop
F C/E G
All I know is what I know
Dm [ring out]
It's all I know
All I know..
Dm Dm [ring out]
Hope it helps! Comment if something could be better.
