from the album "Whirligig" Transcribed by Daniel Schaumann C G Am C Before our eyes there are a million things we haven't tried F Dm They'll get here in the morning Am G They're just around the corner C G Am C It can be hard when we're all blanketed by the cold and dark F Dm We're waiting for the sun Am G We've got a smile to warm us PRE-CHORUS: Am C Cause lately, everything's so heavy F Em Am F I just want the trick that makes me laugh just for fun Dm G Because we're not too old and we're not too young C Em We've got rainbows in our eyes Am C F Barefoot down the street we dodge the broken glass Dm Just to get a laugh F G We fly by in a blink of their eye So I made myself a stern face with a cast of clay I didn't have the knack You made a joke and it just cracked And I watched as all the serious bits flew across the floor Now I'm a different fella I paint the pieces pretty colours PRE-CHORUS: Lately everyone's so honest I just want the white lie as it shines in the coal Because we're not too young and we're not too old CHORUS: We've got rainbows in our eyes Barefoot down the street we dodge the broken glass Just to get a laugh We fly by in a blink of their eye We've got sunshine in our pockets Throw it around the room to cheer the cold dark night With the speed of light We fly by in a blink of their eye Am Em F G And I sang with my head in the dark clouds Am Em F But now I sing about the small good things F#dim Darling here comes Spring G I'll race you there SOLO: (Two guitars arranged for one) C G 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E|----------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------12------10------9-------------------| G|9----9--9----9--9---12------12------10------8-------9---9h10p9--| D|10---10-10---10-10--12------------------------------10-10-10-10-| A|----------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------| Am C 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E|----------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------13------12------------------9-------| G|-------------9--9---12------12------12------9---9h10p9--8-9-----| D|-------------10-10--12----------------------10-10-10-10---10----| A|----------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------| F Dm 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E|----------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------| G|5-----------10--10----------5---5-----------12--12----------5---| D|7-----------10--10----------7---7-----------12--12----------7---| A|----------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------| F G 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E|----------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------| G|5-----------9---9-------10------7---5---4---------------5-------| D|7-----------10--10------10------9---7---5-------7-------7-------| A|------------------------------------------------8---------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------| 1 2 3 4 E|--------------------------------| B|--------------------------------| G|--------4---------------2-------| D|5-------5-------3-------3-------| A|7---------------5---------------| E|--------------------------------| REPEAT BOTH CHORUSES (End on C chord) 26/06/2002
