100 years of solitude - Levellers From eponymous album It like to play the song using barre chords: Bm, A, G D and Bm(II) in the "things you learnt" bit you could use power (5th) chords. They often use "normal" open position chords live //// //// //// //// Bm | G |D |A Bm (N.C) fade out w/vol or whatever All around you slow decay Wanna feel the sun of a new day Forget all tme chances lost Shedding innocence like falling dust Bm G All the things you learned too young Bm G The songs you knew but never sung Bm G Waited a long time and wasted more D A Forgotten what you waited for Bm A G Excuse me ma'am for being so rude D A Feels like 100 years of solitude Bm A G My mind is numb but my mouth's ok D A And you can listen or walk away Bm | G |D |A x2 Bm (N.C) No solutions built to last Just your petty scores to settle fast G The n.m.e was nothing to you D A And the maker, well the maker of who Bm G This walkman generation Bm G In search of sweet sedation Bm G While forests choke under a'lever sky D A And the exxon birds that'll never fly [CHORUS] [BRIDGE] (in octaves) B D E --------------- --------------- --------------- -9\---12\---14\- -x\---x-----x---- -7\---10\---12\- E We tried, we cried. We fell. We lied X\\\ This life's like a white knuckle ride (N.C) G Crack babies born too young D A And l.a. kids who dance to the gun Bm G So forget this so called dirt of mine Bm G It's tust the dust and diesel of passing time Bm G It's all around you - a tragedy, look D A So forget the cover and read the book. [CHORUS] Bm | G |D |A x2 [OUTRO] E5 Palm Muted then as Bridge to End Have fun! oh if anyone can tell me what is meant by the whole "a'lever sky" and "exxon birds" (or any) bit please tell me! its been buggin me for ages Bassetrox (tabcomment.bassetrox.10@spamgourmet.com)
