    Dead Mans Hill

{In the parts that say " D5 - D5  D5 - D5 ," play the riff that 

 Ive tabbed out at the end.  I.e., dont actually play a D5 chord.} 

{The A5 and D5 are kind of weird; at times, they can sound like A5 and D5 , 
 but do try to lay off the third.}

A5               G5            C5              D5 
We were down at Dead Man's Hill, smoking vines like cigarettes 
A5                    G5        C5                 D5 
Looking through the trashy mags, trying to feel what's coming next 
A5               G5         C5                D5 
You told me of crashing cars, older brothers, and late night bars 
A5               G5        C5             C5           D5     D5 
I told you what I feel most, and you kept it like a ghost forever 

  
G5                 D5      D5                   G5 
  Don't you write it down, remember this in your head 
{G}         D5         D5                    G5 
  Don't take a picture, remember this in your heart 
{G}          D5        D5                  G5                   
  Don't leave a message, talk to me face to face 
{G}                  
(Talk to me face to face) Talk to me face to face 
  

D5 - D5  D5 - D5    D5 - D5   D5 - D5

Lying on the bright blue jumping mat, dinner bell is ringing 

Barking dogs and model planes, and the sound of passing trains 

We watch for bonfires in the sky, on the beach in July 

Spin the bottle, steal the kiss, postcards to the one I miss forever 
    D5            D5     D5 
The one I miss forever 
  
Don't you write it down, remember this in your head 

Don't take a picture, remember this in your heart 

I'll leave a message when everything comes apart 

(Talk to me face to face) Talk to me face to face 

(Everything comes apart) Ahhhhhh, I'll leave a message 
G5                     D5 - D5   D5 - D5 
    When everything comes apart 
D5 - D5  D5 - D5    D5 - D5   D5 - D5 
{instrumental} 
A5 G5 C5 D5   A5 G5 C5 D5   A5 G5 C5 D5   A5 G5 C5 D5 
{instrumental} 
  
I remember cats on fire, gasoline, a burning spiral 
Standing underneath the night, fighting back with all my might 
Empty cans and charred remains, find them in the heat of day 
On the top of Dead Man's Hill, this is what I know of shame forever
