THE BOY IN THE BUBBLE -by- PETER GABRIEL
From: "Scratch My Back"(2010)

** DROP D MajorD TUNING! **

Every single piano part that was transcribed for guitar
tab follows the voicing of the piano to the best of my
ability, short of an octave-change here and there. I worked
quite a bit on this one, please give this beautiful song
a listen and a play!

     F# minorF#m
It was a slow day
    F#m6F#m6
And the sun was beating
    F# minorF#m             E MajorE
On the soldiers by the side of the road
          F# minorF#m
There was a bright light
 F#m6F#m6
A augmentedA shattering of shop windows
  F# minorF#m     E MajorE
The bomb in the baby carriage
  D2
Was wired to the radio, and

 These are the days of miracle and wonder
E MajorE             Dsus2Dsus2
 This is the long-distance call
E MajorE          Dsus2Dsus2
 The way the camera follows us in slow-mo

 The way we look to us all

 The way we look to a distant constellation

       F# minorF#m
It was a dry wind
    E MajorE
And it swept across the desert
    D6D6            C# minorC#m
And it curled into the circle of birth
    F# minorF#m
And the dead sand
E MajorE
Falling on the children
  D6D6
The mothers and the fathers
    BB
And the automatic earth
