Author/Artist: Bad Religion
Title: Tiny Voices
Album: Stranger Than Fiction
Transcribed by: Xylo

The chords and timing with the words aren't mine (Sorry, one Johan Karlsson). I used a tuner to figure out what the chords were in relation to the chords listed. Sorry, I have a bad ear for notes, and this is my favorite of all of Bad Religion's songs, and I was irritated that the best I could find was a single chord listing on a Geocities site. I also think that Mr. Brett's part in the background of the intro isn't tabbed right, but far be it from me to say how.

VERSE:
     C               G#             G 
the brown and orange sky holds its breath
the billions of tiny pinhole       embers

                    D#               A# 
as the sun retreats to the distant horizon,
fade into a morning sky filled with poignant morose wonder,

          C               G#              A#              F
and our hearts palpitate anxiously as we soon will lay supine,
waking we bare a cosmetic peace that verifies the turmoil,

               G 
and wait for sleep to overcome us
which we carry deep inside

          G#               G              C   A#

            G#            G               C
its screams of forgotten victims and the cries of innocence,
