The Boy In The Bubble chords by Peter Gabriel

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

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

E           Dsus2
 These are the days of miracle and wonder
E             Dsus2
 This is the long-distance call
E          Dsus2
 The way the camera follows us in slow-mo
E      Dsus    B
 The way we look to us all
C#m          B4
 The way we look to a distant constellation
    E/G#           D2
That's dying in a corner of the sky
F#m          E5     D5
 These are the days of miracle and wonder
  E5        D2
And don't cry, baby, don't cry, don't cry

       F#m
It was a dry wind
    E
And it swept across the desert
    D6            C#m
And it curled into the circle of birth
    F#m
And the dead sand
E
Falling on the children
  D6
The mothers and the fathers
    B
And the automatic earth

A loose affiliation of millionaires
And billionaires, and, baby
