Genesis – Me And Sarah Jane (Guitar)

C                    Bm
The fires are burning   in another land,

C                                            Bm
  Don't start counting, don't start counting.

Bm
   Colder and colder, the ice is moving closer

E7                  Em7
And it gets me down.

                      D                   E7     Em7
Going round and round and down the same old track.

           B
Pack on my back, going swiftly nowhere,

         B7
Heart in my ear beating like a drum.

Cdim7    F#m      G#7
Where will you go?

C#m
   All by yourself.

F#    C#m  F#   C#m  F#   C#dim7  Dm Am
(Hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah.)

G                     Dm            Am
 And now I'm standing on the corner,

G            Dm      Am
  Waiting in the rain,

G                    Dm             Am
But then in sunlight without warning,

G            Bb   C
  I invent a name,

F            Bb
Me and Sarah Jane,

         C             F
We had a special thing going,

             Dm   Am
Me and Sarah Jane.

G                Dm               Am
It was a time of love and laughter,

G                Dm   Am
It wouldn't come again,

G                   Dm           Am
We had our round of joy but after,

G                Bb    C
  Then began the pain,

F            Bb
Me and Sarah Jane,

         C             F
We had a special thing going,

             Dm
Me and Sarah Jane,

Am    G
Sarah Jane.

Fm      Cm              Db
I’m     searching for a clue,

Bbm           Cm   G7
Traces on the sand.

E
First I'm flying,

      Em7
Going round round round,

E
Then I'm sliding

      Em7
Going down down down,

C
Doesn't matter

        D
Where I start I always end up

F#m                   G#               C#
Falling through those same old crowded rooms.

C#             D#m
Me and Sarah Jane,

          C#
We had it coming

        D#m
All the pain,

C#                D#m
Walking down the streets,

            C#     B       D#m
And finding nothing is the same,

    C#           A#m                D#m     B
And now the city lights are dimming one by one,

         C#       A#m
It costs too much money

   D#m        B
To keep them on.

C#
Me and Sarah Jane,

D#m
  In silence walk along the shore,

C#                D#m
Tears of joy and mocking laughter,

C#        B       D#m
Words lost in the wind.

    C#        A#m
The tide was rising,

    D#m        B
But there we stayed,

          C#      A#m
We had no fear of dying

   D#m       B
We weren't afraid.
