100 Years Of Solitude
guitar tabs lyrics
100 years of solitude - Levellers
From eponymous album
It like to play the song using barre chords: Bm(VII), A(V), G(III) D(V)
and Bm(II) in the "things you learnt" bit
you could use power (5th) chords. They often use "normal" open position chords live

Bm | G |D |A
Bm (N.C) fade out w/vol or whatever
All around you slow decay
Wanna feel the sun of a new day
Forget all tme chances lost
Shedding innocence like falling dust
Bm G
All the things you learned too young
Bm G
The songs you knew but never sung
Bm G
Waited a long time and wasted more
D A
Forgotten what you waited for
Bm A G
Excuse me ma'am for being so rude
D A
Feels like 100 years of solitude
Bm A G
My mind is numb but my mouth's ok
D A
And you can listen or walk away
Bm | G |D |A x2
Bm (N.C)
No solutions built to last
Just your petty scores to settle fast
G
The n.m.e was nothing to you
D A
And the maker, well the maker of who
Bm G
This walkman generation
Bm G
In search of sweet sedation
Bm G
While forests choke under a'lever sky
D A
And the exxon birds that'll never fly
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE] (in octaves) B D E

E
We tried, we cried. We fell. We lied
X\\\
This life's like a white knuckle ride
(N.C) G
Crack babies born too young
D A
And l.a. kids who dance to the gun
Bm G
So forget this so called dirt of mine
Bm G
It's tust the dust and diesel of passing time
Bm G
It's all around you - a tragedy, look
D A
So forget the cover and read the book.
[CHORUS]
Bm | G |D |A x2
[OUTRO]
E5 Palm Muted then as Bridge to End
Have fun!
oh if anyone can tell me what is meant by the whole "a'lever sky" and "exxon birds" (or any) bit
please tell me!
its been buggin me for ages
