Missy Higgins – Sound Of White (Ukulele)

Artist: Missy Higgins Album: The Sound of White (2004) Song: The Sound of White ***This song is quite piano based but uses guitar part way into it. Instead of starting with piano, just pick the chords in any progression that suits the tempo etc and it sounds fine.

G   D   C   D*   D
Like a freeze dried rose

You will never be What you were, what you were To me in memory

G   D   C   D*   D
But if I listen to the dark

You'll embrace me like a star Envelope me Envelope me PRE-CHORUS:

G   D   C   D*   D
If things get real for me down here

Promise to take me to before you went away If only for a day

G   D   Cadd9   C   D
If things get real for me down here

Promise to take me back to the tune we played Before you went away CHORUS:

G   D   C   D
And if I listen to the sound of white

Sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light Yeah if I listen to the sound of white VERSE 2:

G   D   C   D*   D
You're my mystery, one mystery

My mystery, one mystery

G   D   C   D*   D
My silence solidifies

Til that hollow void Erases you, erases you Til I can't feel at all

G   D   C   D*   D
But if I never feel again

At least that nothingness will end The painful dream Of you and me PRE-CHORUS: (x1) CHORUS: And if I listen to the sound of white Sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light Yeah if I listen to the sound of white Sometimes I hear your smile and breathe your light And if I listen to the sound of white BRIDGE:

Em   C   G   D
I knelt before

Some stranger's face Well I never had the courage Or belief to trust this place

Em   C   G   D (pause on the D note)
And I dropped my head

Cos it felt like lead And I'm sure I felt Your fingers through my hair (Pick the notes C and D in this short break) CHORUS: And if I listen to the sound of white Sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light Yeah if I listen to the sound of white Sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light And if I listen to the sound of white The sound of white The sound of white The sound of white END! That's probably one of the easiest songs that I've ever heard, but still it's a killer.... Aussie artists : simple but bloody fantastic!
