Song: Amy's Song
Artist: Switchfoot
Album: New Way to Be Human
==================================================================================================
The second chord of the intro might be G/F# or D/F# cuz the chord is
not very clear in the original song, but personally I think G sounds better.
==================================================================================================Intro:
D G Amy's gone D G And time rolls on D G D How far? How fast? How long?
Verse 1:
D G The last time we saw Amy D G She was headed for the shore D G D G Fighting off the volatile gray skies
Verse 2:
D G She said now begins forever D G And that no one knows their time D G We bid farewell not knowing D G That might be our last good-bye
Chorus:
D Amy was a fighter F#m7 G2 She cut like Casius Clay Bbmaj7 She burned like a fire A7 Despite these rains D Where time was a question F#m7 G2 She only knew one song: Bbmaj7 A7 D (lead into interlude) She's singing, "How far, how fast, how long?"
Interlude 1: D D/G D
Verse 3:
D G Salvation is a fire D G In the midnight of the soul D G D G It lights up like a can of gasoline
Verse 4:
D G Yeah, she's a freedom fighter D G She's a stand up kind of girl D G She's out to start a fire D G In a bar code plastic world
Chorus
Interlude 2: D D/G (x4)
Verse 5:
D (G) When everything stops moving D (G) And I stop to catch my breath D (G) And ride my train of thought D (G) All the way round
Verse 6:
D G My thoughts return to Amy D G And the fire she's begun D G She came when we were freezing D G And left us burning up
Chorus
Outro: D G (x3) D and fade out
