    Cream Gold (disc 1)

(optional) Capo on 1st fret. 

Doesn't sound 100% right when playing along with the song, 
but when you're playing this on a guitar and singing with it, 
it nails it. I find this way a lot easier to play than the other 
versions of this tab on here. Listen to the song for the rhythm. 
The F and the G in the verse are played quickly after each other.


INTRO
Dm  C  Am  G
Ah  Ah Ah  Ah

Dm  C  Am  G  Em
Ah Ah  Ah  Ah Ah


VERSE
     Am        C            D      F G        Am     C  D F
In a white room with black curtains near the stations

 G        Am    C          D       F  G     Am       C  D F
Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings,

 G      Am   C          D       F G       Am       C  D F
Silver horses run down moonbeams in your dark eyes.

 G         Am   C         D     F G      Am       C  D F
Dawnlight smiles on your leaving, my contentment.


CHORUS
      G             D             F          E
I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines.

 G            D                F      G            A      A
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.


VERSE
     Am        C            D      F G        Am     C  D F
You said no strings could secure you at the stations.

 G        Am    C          D       F  G     Am       C  D F
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows.

 G        Am    C          D       F  G     Am       C  D F
I walked into such a sad time at the station.

 G        Am    C          D       F  G     Am       C  D F
As I walked out felt my own need just beginning.


CHORUS
      G             D             F          E
I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back
 G            D                F      G            A      A
I'll wait for you where the shadows run from themselves


BRIDGE
Dm  C  Am  G

VERSE
     Am        C            D      F G        Am     C  D F
At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
 G        Am    C          D       F  G     Am       C  D F
Consolation from the old wound now forgotten
 G        Am    C          D       F  G     Am       C  D F
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
 G        Am    C          D       F  G     Am       C  D F
She's jst dressing goodbye windows, tired starlings


CHORUS
      G             D             F          E
I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd,
 G            D                F      G            A      A
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves
