Subject: TAB: "Underlying Depression" by Van Morrison

"Underlying Depression" by Van Morrison
Taken from the album "Days Like This"
Tabbed by Justin Kunz: jkunz@smcvt.edu

"I was flabbergasted by the headlines: 'People in Glass Houses Throwing
Stones.'"-- Van Morrison

Throw a capo on the first fret and play these chords, with respect to
the capo:

G#m466444 (133111@4)Ax02220 (x02220@1)Bx24442 (x2444x@1)E022100 (022100@1)
Or, since there isn't really a defined guitar sound on the album, play
bar chords to give it a light feel:

Am577555 (x02210@1)Bbx13331 (x1333x@1)Cx35553 (x32010@1)F133211 (133211@1)
On the A-E part below, it means make a quick change from the E to an A,
then back to E.

Here are the lyrics:
