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, Gm)

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


Verse One:

Bb
Here...
Bb
Stuck by...
Gm
You and I..
Gm
Underneath...
Eb
Down, down, down ...
                      Gm
Ever falling down...

Verse Two:

Bb
Through...
      Bb
As if...
Gm
Waiting here,...
               Gm
Always failing
Eb
Came, came, came...
                                Gm
I wonder why we came...


Lead 2:

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

Verse Three:

Bb
You talk...
     Bb...
as if from...
        Gm
And I reply...
          Gm
With impressions...
Eb
Time, time, time...
                         Gm
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.)
