Chords

Performed by Echo And The Bunnymen Transcribed by Duke Chords: C F G Em [Intro] C F (x4) [Verse 1]
             C
Stab a sorry heart

                    F
With your favourite finger

                      C
Paint the whole world blue

                         F
And stop your tears from stinging

                 C
Hear the cavemen singing

                  F
Good news they're bringing
[Chorus]
G     C
Seven seas

G                C
Swimming them so well

G       C
Glad to see

   G  
My face among them

C                    G
Kissing the tortoise shell
[Verse 2]
          C
A longing for

             F
Some fresher feeling

          C
Belonging or

             F
Just forever kneeling

                      C
Where is the sense in stealing

                     F
Without the grace to be it
[Chorus]

Seven seas

[Interlude] F Em F [Bridge]
C                      F
Burning my bridges and smashing my mirrors

C                        F
Turning to see if you're cowardly

C                        F
Burning the witches with mother religious

       C                      F
You'll strike the matches and shower me

   C
In water games
Washing the rocks below
           F
Taught and tamed

   C
In time with tear flow
[Chorus]

My face among them

C                    G

That's it! Pretty simple. Alternately, you can play a 'C' though the verses with an 'F' on the 3rd line; I play it this way to give it some variety, and to keep from getting bored while playing it. Hope you enjoy it! -Duke
