Chords
THE BIG EXPRESS (1984)
Open E tuning. The chords are pretty easy, but the rhythm can be a bit tough, especially keeping it up for the
whole song or if you're singing. For the bridge, just strum the verse chords once each. Fun fact: the
fingering of the riff is exactly the same as "Complicated Game"

[Intro]
N.C
Ah well, that's this world over
N.C
Ah well, next one begins
[Verse 1]
Dsus C#sus Will you smile like any mother Dsus C#sus As you bathe your brand new twins? Dsus C#sus Will you sing about the missiles Dsus C#sus As you dry odd numbered limbs?
[Chorus]
Dsus C#sus Ah well, that's this world over Dsus C#sus Ah well, next one begins Dsus C#sus Ah well, that's this world over Dsus C#sus C# You sadly grin
[Bridge 1]
A B G#m C# Will you tell them about that far off and mythical land A B G#m C# About the leader with the famous face? A B G#m C# Will you tell them that the reason nothing ever grows in the garden anymore A B G#m C# Because he wanted to win the craziest race Dsus C#sus That's this world over
[Verse 2]
Dsus C#sus Will you smile like any father Dsus C#sus With your children on a Sunday hike? Dsus C#sus When you get to a sea of rubble Dsus C#sus And they ask “What was London like?” (You tell them:)
[Chorus]
[Bridge 2]
A B G#m C# Will you tell them about that far off and mythical land A B G#m C# And how a child to the virgin came? A B G#m C# Will you tell them that the reason why we murdered everything upon the surface of the world A B G#m C# So we can stand right up and say we did it in his name?
[Outro]
Dsus C#sus That's this world over Dsus C#sus Or so it seems Dsus C#sus That's this world over Dsus C#sus The end of dreams Piano part E |-----4-9-7--5-4------9-9-9--| B |----------------7-9---------| G#|-5-8------------------------| E |----------------------------| B |----------------------------| E |----------------------------| Dsus C#sus That's this world over, over, over and out
