================================================================================================== Song: The Sound (John M. Perkins’ Blues) Artist: Switchfoot Album: Hello Hurricane ================================================================================================== For the intro and interludes, it's best to play the riff, but if you just want to play chords (or are using this for a backing instrument like a synth) then you can use the chords shown below. ================================================================================================== Intro: Dsus2 D9 (x4) Verse 1: Dsus2 D9 The static comes in slow Dsus2 D9 You can feel it grow Dsus2 D9 Our stream of conscience flows Dsus2 D9 Under the streets below Interlude: Dsus2 D9 (x2) Verse 2: Dsus2 D9 The rivers made of sound Dsus2 D9 Still running underground Dsus2 D9 Runs like a silent flood Dsus2 D9 We run as thick as blood Prechorus 1: Bb Can you hear it rise F6 Up from the ground Bb Can’t drown it out Dsus4 Can you hear it now Chorus: D5 This is the sound of a heartbeat Bb5 This is the sound from the discontented mouths Of a haunted nation G5 D5 We are the voice of breaking down Can you hear me? Bb5 This is the sound of the desperation bound By our own collision G5 Dsus2 (lead into interlude) We are the voice of breaking down Interlude 2: Dsus2 D9sus4 (x2) Verse 3: Dsus2 D9 The static comes alive Dsus2 D9 Beneath the broken skies Dsus2 D9 John Perkins said it right Dsus2 D9 Love is the final fight Interlude Prechorus 2: Bb Let it rise above F6 Rise above Bb There is no song Dsus4 Louder than love Chorus Interlude (x2) Prechorus 3: Bb Let it rise above F6 Up from the ground Bb Can’t drown it out Dsus4 Can you hear it now Chorus (Change the lyrics “own collision” to “fallen condition”) Outro: D5 This is the sound D5 This is the sound Dsus2 D9 (x2)
