All words and music by Brian Eno

These are the chords to this strikingly sparse, beautiful song from one
of Eno's
early solo albums. The original version is played on piano and keyboards,
so this
is a fairly close adaptation I came up with for guitar. It's a nice
arrangement if
you've got someone else to play the lead behind the chords.

Intro:
Lead 1 (repeat over Verse chords-- Bb, Gm, Eb, G minorGm)

G+G|-----15--14------------------------------------7---8---10--|
D MajorD|--------------15--12--15------------12-------8--10--12--|
A augmentedA|-----------------------------13--15-------------------------|

Verse One:

Bb majorBb
Here...
Bb majorBb
Stuck by...
G minorGm
You and I..
G minorGm
Underneath...
Eb MajorEb
Down, down, down ...
           G minorGm
Ever falling down...

Verse Two:

Bb majorBb
Through...
   Bb majorBb
As if...
G minorGm
Waiting here,...
        G minorGm
Always failing
Eb MajorEb
Came, came, came...
                G minorGm
I wonder why we came...

Lead 2:

E MajorE|-----------------18--------------------------------------------|
BB|--18--16--15--------17--18--20--18--17--18--22--------|  (you're on
your own for the rest...)

Verse Three:

Bb majorBb
You talk...
   Bb...
as if from...
    G minorGm
And I reply...
     G minorGm
With impressions...
Eb MajorEb
Time, time, time...
             G minorGm
From another time...


(Hum the melody a bit here at the end, and if nobody hits you with a
chair, you've played it well enough.)
