Beautiful song from the incredible Laura?s July Flame album. The chords are easy but this one is very best suited to alternate picking for the bass notes on the Em, Am7 and C chords. I've put the picking patterns at the foot of the tab! Ok. It's in standard tuning, capo 3rd fret. Chords relative to capo?d position i.e. Am7 is actually a Cm7, G is actually Bb and so on! Intro ===== Em Verse 1 ======= Em Life is good when you dance all night Am7 C Am7 C And the world trans-mits electric power Em Messages you send to Mars Am7 C Am7 C Came from a crown of flowers Chorus 1 ======== G F Am7 C Have you danced a-way the hours? G F Am7 C Have you danced a-way the hours? Verse 2 ======= Em Life is good when the band is smokin' hot Am7 C Am7 C The drummer drums 'cause it's the last chance that he got Em Boats light up the river in a string of flame Am7 C Am7 C Life is good Chorus 2 ======== G F Am7 C When you know he feels the same thing G F Am7 C When you know he feels the same thing inst ==== Em Am7 C Am7 C Em Am7 C Am7 C Verse 3 ======= Em Go in soft like the dawn Am7 And tender green like the shoots of spring C Am7 C Un-furling on the lawn Em Over dale over dale Am7 Over sea swell over sea swell C Am7 C Never play the devil's pawn Chorus 3 / out ============== G F Am7 C Cause you know he'd do the same thing G F Am7 C Yeah you know he'd do the same thing G F Am7 C Yeah you know he'd do the same thing G F Am7 C Yeah you know he'd do the same thing Em Am7 C E --0----0 -------- -------- B --0----0 ---1---1 ---1---1 G -------- ---0---0 ---0---0 D 2------- -----2-- -----2-- A -------- 0------- 3------- E ----0--- -------- -------- Nb the G and F chords are strummed simply!!! ----------------------------------------- I hope I've done it justice!
