Chords with lyrics

      Counting Out Time ? Genesis
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: soprano C

Genesis
Counting Out Time (1974)
(Banks/Collins/Gabriel/Hackett/Rutherford)


I tabbed out the song in G, easy to play. To match with the original
recording you ll have to transpose this tab up +1 to G# or use one of
those cute ukulele capos on the first fret.

VERSE
G  Gmaj7    Em7
I'm counting out time
    G          C
Got the whole thing down by numbers
     G       A
All those numbers! Give me guidance
 D        G
O Lord I need that now
  Gmaj7       Em7
The day of judgement's come
      G         C
And you can bet that I've been resting
     G    A
For this testing, digesting
   D        G
Every word the experts say
BRIDGE
     F    C  G
Erogenous zones I love you
  Bb          F
Without you, what would a poor boy do?


MIDDLE 8
G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G | G |

               G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G | G |
Found a girl I wanted to date
                 G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G | G |
Thought I'd better get it straight
                     G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G | G |
Went to buy a book before it's too late.
               G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
Don't leave nothing to fate
  Dm      Am     C
I studied every line, every page in the book
Db        Db7         A
Now, I've got the real thing here, I'm gonna take a look, take a look


VERSE
G  Gmaj7    Em7
I'm counting out time
G           C
Hoping it goes like I planned it
        G
 Cause I understand it
      A         D
Look! I've found the hotspots, Figures one to nine
G    Gmaj7    Em7
 Still counting out time
    G       C
Got my finger on the button
      G      A
"Don't say nothin' - just lie there still
     D           G
And I'll get you turned on just fine."


BRIDGE
     F    C  G
Erogenous zones I love you
  Bb          F
Without you, what would a poor boy do?


MIDDLE 8
G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G | G |

            G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G | G |
Touch and go with 1-6
               G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G | G |
Bit of trouble in zone No. 7
                G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G | G |
Gotta remember all of my tricks
                G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G |
There's heaven ahead in No. 11
    Dm     Am    C
Getting crucial responses, dilation of the pupils
 Db    Db7    A
"Honey get hip! It's time to unzip
   A
To unzip, zip, zip-a-zip-a-zip. Whopee!"

VERSE
G  Gmaj7    Em7
I'm counting out time
 G       C
Reaction none to happy
       G
Please don't slap me
   A            D           G
I'm a red blooded male and the book said I could not fail
  Gmaj7    Em7
I'm counting out time
   G     C
I got unexpected distress
    G
From my mistress
      A          D        G
I'll get my money back from the bookstore right away

BRIDGE (+ coda)
     F    C     G
Erogenous zones I question you
  Bb          F    G
Without you, what would a poor boy do?
  Bb          F    G
Without you, what would a poor boy do?
  Bb        F          G    C
Without you, mankind handkinds thru' the blues
