David Knopfler - Shadowlands


CAPO: 4th Fret


INTRO: G+G C majorC (4x)

     G+G
Does the Shadowman possess you?
    C majorC           G+G
Is your dream still sweet and real?
     C majorC       E minorEm
Pain will always follow pleasure
              B minorBm
That's how Nature cuts her deal
C majorC      G+G
Every moment precious
       D MajorD     C majorC
It was time alone we'd steal
               D MajorD
First it's heaven, then it's hell
   C majorC        D MajorD
To allow all that we feel

CHORUS:
            C majorC   G+G   D MajorD   E minorEm
I'm going down to these Shadowlands, yeah, yeah
C majorC G+G  B minorBm
Shadowlands
     C majorC     G+G     D MajorD   E minorEm
Try, what you can't cure, you must endure
     C majorC      D MajorD A augmentedA
In these Shadowlands


BRIDGE:

Climbing and disowning
E minorEm            A augmentedA
You've made acquisitions

Trading love for the masquerade
    E minorEm    D MajorD
Just to realize positions


       G+G
You put your mouth in someone else's pocket
    C majorC           G+G
So you still need someone to blame
  C majorC        E minorEm
You turn your victim over
              B minorBm
But lay bare your face and name
C majorC        G+G
You who vanquish memories
       D MajorD    C majorC
In your power lust for fame
            D MajorD
Brother Banquo he'll be calling
      C majorC     D MajorD
Yeah, it's Halloween again
     C majorC        D MajorD
I may be leaning' on his shoulder
   C majorC         D MajorD
In ya killing fields of shame

CHORUS:
              C majorC   G+G   D MajorD   E minorEm
And I'll return from these Shadowlands, yeah, yeah
C majorC G+G  B minorBm
Shadowlands
     C majorC    G+G     D MajorD  E minorEm
Ah, what we don't cure must be endured
     C majorC      D MajorD  E minorEm
In these shadowlands


Lead Break: C majorC    G+G  C majorC       E minorEm  C majorC    G+G    D MajorD
       (Yeah, yeah) (These shadowlands) (Shadowlands)


   G+G
Where e'er the Fates may hide us
     C majorC        G+G
From the dark seas of our dreams
 C majorC        E minorEm
I pray you yet may find us
             B minorBm
If you share these final scenes
  C majorC          G+G
By God's grace, let you be the one
            C majorC
Who'll hear every sad refrain
          D MajorD
In the echoes of a love song
    C majorC     D MajorD
On The Late Show playing
   C majorC      D MajorD
A augmentedA survivor of the airwaves
     C majorC         D MajorD
Seen the sun going down in flames
   C majorC         D MajorD
While framed against the doorway
 C majorC       D MajorD
A augmentedA silhouette in chains


CHORUS:
           C majorC   G+G   D MajorD   E minorEm
Hell-bound for these Shadowlands, yeah, yeah
C majorC G+G  B minorBm
Shadowlands
     C majorC    G+G     D MajorD  E minorEm
Ah, what we don't cure must be endured
     C majorC      D MajorD E minorEm
In these Shadowlands
    C majorC    G+G    D MajorD     E minorEm
And if we won't learn we sure will burn
  C majorC      D MajorD E minorEm
In Shadowlands


OUTRO: (## fade to end ##)
    C majorC     G+G   C majorC E minorEm  C majorC    G+G
    (In Shadowlands)      (Shadowlands)
    D MajorD        E minorEm
     (Going down to Shadowlands)
    C majorC G+G C majorC E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm
