Until It Shines chords by Thunder

Artist: Thunder
Title: Until it shines
Album: Giving the game away / Symphony and Stage
Music: Luke Morley
Transcribed: Jim Barrow

This is my attempt at tabbing (or at least chording) this excellent song.
Just one note- watch the end of the second verse- the little fill is absent
there.

Intro [Acoustic only]

|Am		|Asus4 Am	|Am		|Asus4 Am

Verse 1

Am			    C
I look in the mirror, I stand 185

D			   Em   C     G	      C    Am	Asus4 Am
I'm glad I'm not too short, I'm glad that I'm alive

Am				   C
Cos sometimes on a bad day I got no self-esteem

D			Em	    C	    G	    C   Am		Asus4 Am
Especially when I see those shiny color magazines

Chorus 1

G			   Dm
Lord, you know I can see the picture now

	 F					    Am
Of the transformation they could do for me

C				 G					 Dm
If I was dumb enough I'd pick up that phone and get in line,

		   Em		  C	   G	    C		Am	Asus4 Am
And they could stretch my sallow skin until it shines

Verse 2

Am		    C
Desire and envy welling up in your heart

D		     Em     C       G		C	     Am	Asus4 Am
You wanna take a hammer to your next door neighbours car

Am					 C
So you dream of the good life, and how the fantasy burns

D				Em C	 G	     C    Am
Makes you gamble on the TV but you never ever learn

Chorus 2 [Electric kicks in on the fills at the end]

G				   Dm
One in a million is better odds than you got

	  F						   Am
But you still believe that this could be the one

C				     G				   Dm
Why don't you just relax and try to conceive the perfect crime

	     Em	  C	  G	    C	     Am	Asus4 Am	Asus4 Am
Or you can rub your lucky charm until it shines

Verse 3 [Electric plays the fill (funky feel), while the acoustic plays Am
for the whole verse]


You spent your hard earned money on a house of cards


Not knowing which way the wind would blow


Invested all your loving on a crazy whim


And there's no telling where she'll go

Chorus 3

G								 Dm
So you spend your time dreaming, thinking how it used to be

	  G
Til you come to know the meaning of regret

    G								    Dm			Am
You convince yourself that everythings going how it ought to be in your head

	 Em  C	   G	    C	     Am
You're polishing the dirt until it shines

Instrumental

|Am		|Am		|Am		|Am
|Dm		|G		|Dm		|Am
|Dm		|G		|E		|E7
|Dm		|G		|Dm		|Am
|Dm		|G		|E		|E7

Outro [Back to acoustic]

Am				   C
All that we're praying for it ain't always what we find

D		     Em	 C	   G	   C	    Am
So all of us sit waiting for the sun until it shines



The fill goes something like this (it helps if you listen to the CD for the
exact timing).
