Metre is a fast 3/4. The notes are played with a triplety swing: have a listen to get it right!

WHOLE SONG:

INTRO:

 Dadd2 - - | E7 - - | Dadd2 - - | E7 - - ||  x3


 Dadd2       E7
I'm drifting down
          Dadd2          E7
While you scream past my head
 Dadd2     E7
Fire away, fly away
  Dadd2           E7
I wonder what you said


 Dadd2 - - | E7 - - | Dadd2 - - | E7 - - ||


    Dadd2        E7
And i'm watching you
          Dadd2      E7
Bare your teeth in a growl
 Dadd2         E7
Throwing your way
         Dadd2      E7
Back and forth 'til now


 Dadd2 - - | E7 - - ||


    B7           D
And i'm here in oblivion
             A
I don't feel anything
 B7                  D
When, it's time to begin again
         A       B7    D     (E7)
I won't remember anything at all



  [Here the main pattern appears reversed, with the E7 before the Dadd2, not after]

 (E7) - - | Dadd2 - - ||

 E7 - - | Dadd2 - - | E7 - - | Dadd2 - - || x2




E7           Dadd2    E7     Dadd2
Could it be something that i said
       E7        Dadd2       E7         Dadd2
That's making you put poison pins in my bed
E7               Dadd2 E7   Dadd2
And i would feel sorry if i could
   E7         Dadd2        E7            Dadd2
So fire away, fly away, if you think you should


E7      Dadd2
I'm in oblivion
E7      Dadd2
I'm in oblivion
E7      Dadd2
I'm in oblivion
Dadd2     Dadd2     E
'blivion, 'blivion, i'm... 



(End of song)

Hope you enjoy! It's a lot of fun to play and sing.

Peace, Lukewa
