Tuning: Standard EBGDAE

Difficulty: Novice

From the album "Stare" (1996)


Verse 1:
Dm               C
I'm on a side'o' canyon road
Dm                    C
An' people drive and stare
Dm                C
I'm eating dust inside my throat
Dm            Bb              C
Away from the face I wouldn't wear

Verse2:
Bb                 F
The ground spins inside my head
Bb                   F
And I can't drive anymore
Bb
Just bring my body down
F                             C
And dream of what there was before

Chorus:
 Dm           Bb
Promises, my promises
             Gm                 C
They take me all the way to extreme
   Dm          Bb
My California promises
               Gm               C
They locked me up inside of a dream

Verse3:
Dm               C
I see the shadows on a strip
Dm                     C
They come and stay for good
Dm                       C
Sleepwalking grace with broken bones
Dm              Bb           C
They've come to conquer Hollywood

Verse4:

Bb                       F
They fly at night to the candle light
Bb                                F
They burn their wings and feel no pain
Bb
The part that once you got
F                           C
You must go on and keep on playing

Chorus(repeat)- 2 times!

Bridge:
 D Bb                 C  (Ab)
Stare, staring in the sky
Bb               C
Trying to catch a sight of angels flying
See the sky with angels flying)
 D Bb                 C  (Ab)
Stare, staring in the sky
  Bb                   C
I just see the eyes that are never crying

Chorus(repeat)-2 times!

THE END!
