Standard (EADGBE)
(
)
Guitar 2 is a mandolin, tuned down 1/2 step (Gb Db Ab Eb)
Note: Watch the time signature here. The main riff is in 14/8, which
I think of as a measure of 6 followed by a measure of 8 (as
I indicate below). But, the rest of the song is in 8/8, and the
shifts from 14/8 to 8/8 and back again are subtle.
Intro and main riff:
(6/8) (8/8)
Verse
She is trapped inside a month of grey
And they take a little every day
She is a victim of her own responses
Shackled to a heart that wants to settle
And the runs away
Chorus
It's a sin to be fading endlessly
Yeah, but she's alright with me
She is leaving on a walkaway
She is leaving me in disarray
In the absence of a place to be
She stands there looking back at me
Hesitates, and then turns away
She'll change so suddenly
She's just like mercury
Yeah, but she's alright with me
Bridge
(Guitar 1 plays last 8/14 of main riff once)
