Flying over the black town
Forces call to me to get right down
Work it out again to catch my trout
Throw it in these effects unpacked

       A         Bmin
Ground Breaks, direction
C#min  D
No one else could penetrate time

/Riff 1/ - (played once)

/Riff 1 - first part/ (played twice)
Learn you to move the grass above all time
Past moving up and all futures go back

/Riff 1 - second part/ (played twice)
Look at where you are you find no trace of time
Going in around in the only places you're free

/Riff 1/
Low birds, you were the full taste to this from downtown

/Riff 1/

A     Bmin   C#min        D                              F#min
  Lou Bergs, you were the full taste to this from downtown

A     F#min      A


F#min*                                      A
You say what you want it was yours till you die

       F#min                A
To come up, you float down

F#min                A
 I drew and agony fall

     F#min                         A
You grow back with your face down

F#min*                   A
    The breast bone it feels

    Bmin            C#min     D
You glow bright and you will always hear this sound

You can always have this back

/Riff 2/
It's so hard to make joy so sad

/Riff 1 - second part without its last note/
You can always just stand back

       A
It's a hearts

     Bmin
That make it

C#min   D          A
Grow   down on faces

*F#min with your little finger on the fourth fret on the string e.

Note: I like this song very much but I haven't found a good tab for this song so I was
it unbidden in this way. This is my first tab, hope you like it. If it's not correct or
found some mistakes please write to me (dana4@freemail.hu). I think tuning is better 
your tuner calibrated on 438Hz but you can play it in standard tuning, of course. Thanks
John.
