A5 
 
D5              A5 
I watch the TV every night 
D5               A5 
I stay awake by satellite 
  D5                                 A5      E5 
I hope and pray the nightmares stay away today 
  

D5                     A5 
  An oily shroud on a coral reef 
  D5                     A5 
A black cloud's hanging over me 
       D5                                A5          E5 
When I hit on the remote the programmes stay the same 
 

   A5             D5      A5 
Credo, credo, credo, credo 
   D5                  A5 
An assegai slick with sweat and blood 
  D5                  A5 
A shotgun barks at a rabid dog  
  D5                                      A5           E5 
A shallow grave hugs a highway beneath a bleaching sun 
  

D5                     A5 
  When cancer sucks a young girl's breast 
  D5                A5 
A company chains a young man's soul 
         D5                                    A5       E5 
When the coal dust stole my grandad's breath away one day 
 

   A5             D5      A5 
Credo, credo, credo, credo 
                 D5      A5 
Credo, credo, credo, credo 
              D5                      F#5 
It don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin' 
              D5                                 A5 
It don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin' to me 
 

D5                        A5 
A tattered tramp tacks a windy wynd 
           D5                      A5 
To close a crowded circle round a brazier's light 
  D5                             A5         E5 
A man becomes a mountain in the falling snow 
  D5                    A5 
A mother screams and a baby cries 
    D5                      A5 
The memory gone before the blood has dried 
  D5                                       A5       E5 
A needle pricks the conscience to help it fade away  
 

   A5             D5      A5 
Credo, credo, credo, credo  
                 D5      A5 
Credo, credo, credo, credo  
              D5                      F#5 
It don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin' 
              D5                                 A5  D5  A5  D5  A5  D5  A5  D5  A5 
It don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin' to me 
 

              D5                      F#5 
It don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin' 
              D5                                             A5 
It don't mean nothin', I tell you, it don't mean nothin' to me 
 

D5                        A5 
The more you scream , the less you hear 
D5                A5 
Or that's how it used to be 
      D5                                  A5            E5 
But I just can't tell the difference any more these days 
D5                   A5 
The open lips of an altar boy 
  D5                 A5 
A planet spins in a silent void  
    D5                             A5              E5 
The options are ever fewer on the ground these days

I watch the TV every night, I stay awake by satellite 
  D5                                       A5 
I hope and pray that the nightmares stay away today 
  
An oily shroud on a coral reef, there's a black cloud hanging over me 
       D5                                   A5 
When I hit on the remote the programme, it stays the same 
 
A mother screams and a baby cries, the memory gone before the blood has dried 
  D5                                       A5 
A needle pricks the conscience to help it fade away 
 
Why don't you fade away? Fade away, fade away 
 
Oh, why don't you fade away? 
              D5 
Why can't you fade away? Why can't you fade away? 
              A5 
Why can't you fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away? Fade away
