Granite Chords & Lyrics by Pendulum

guitar chords lyrics
This song is remotely simple, but I�m not going to claim that this is the best way of
it. I�ve been dying to play an acoustic version of this for a while, so it�s just a simple
diagram with some fills for emphasis.
Also, apologies for the masses of writing under the chords, they�re basically just
you how I choose to play it � ignore them if you wish! And sorry if you can�t understand my
of writing this chord structure.. it does make sense, don�t worry. Enjoy :) x

(I�m sure when you listen to the song you�ll be able to figure out where it changes with
two chords)
(0:26) Em F# (pm)
(0:37) F# (pm)
(I choose to palm mute this bit to emphasise the lead riff, so you don�t have to if you
want to, and if you think that using minor chords works better, I really don�t mind,
is just a base for the notes used!)

(It works best if you keep up a rhythm with these chords, and any which I�ve put in
you don�t necessarily need to play for it to sound good, they�re just for added effect. And
the verse, you can just use the normal chord shape, because the barr�d chords will start
hurt your hands after a while.. but it�s much easier to use them for the chorus!)
F# E
You can hide your eyes, you can dim the lights, but they are watching
F#
This is a new time, with a different kind, they are the future
B A
The only one
F# E
This is the final call for the setting sun when they get closer
F#
Now with a fall from grace, they will be done, the show is over
B F#
It�s a new dawn
G F#
Just leave this place behind
G F#
I�ll clear your bloodshot mind
B A B
They only wanted your life on demand
(C) B (A) F#
This is a better way
F# E
They are standing by, no time to hide, no meeting half way
F#
You were sucking life through the needle�s eye, this is a new day
B A
And they have won
F# E
We will surrender now, or be outdone, left in the open
F#
It�s the cooling of the risen, they are the future
B A B F#
The future
F#
With all your fears combined, the manifest was refined
F#
I know you really tried to understand
F#
This is a new way
(For the above bit, I just keep repeating the F# since you�d need power chords to get
song perfect)
Outro
(from 3:28) F#
(3:50) F# B E F#
(3:56) A F# A F#
(4:01) B A Ab F#
B F#
It�s a new dawn
Apologies if the outro is wrong, but then you only really need that bit if you�re doing
duet with the lead as well. Thank you, and enjoy! x
