Brook Fraser
3rd capo
Riff: Fmaj7 Am
Verse 1:
Fmaj7I am sitting still, I think of AngeAmlique
Her mothers voice overFmaj7 me, and the bullets in the wall where it fell Amsilent
Fmaj7And on a thousandth hill, I think of AlberAmtine
There in her eyes what I don'tFmaj7 see with my eye ohAm
Chorus:
RwandFmaj7a, now that I have sCeen, I am resGponsible
DmFaith without deeds is dead
Fmaj7Now that I have Cheld you in my oGwn arms, DmI cannot let go till you are
Verse 2:
I am on a plane across a distant sea, but I carry you in me
And in the dust on, the dust on, the dust on, the dust on, the dust on
The dust on my feet
Chorus
Interlude: Am Fmaj7 C
Bridge:
I will tAmell the world, I will tell them Fmaj7where I've bCeen
I will kAmeep my word, I will tell themFmaj7 AlbertiCne
Chorus
Verse 3:
Fmaj7I am on a stage, a thousand eyes on Amme
I will tell them, AlberFmaj7tine, I will tell them, AlbertAmine
The riff is played throughout the song except for the chorus and bridge.
The way I play with the riff and I think Brooke does too is along with Fmaj7,
we play Am/C where we continuously open the 3rd string.
Then to the Am where we do the same with the 3rd and 4th string.
And this is how I play some of the unconventional chords:
Am/C: x3221x Fmaj7: x3321x
Just to let you know this is how I interpret this song,
but you could always tweak it your own way so it sounds good to you.
Thanks.
