METHOD ACTING/CORTEZ THE KILLER - Dave Rawlings Machine Tabbed by Barry Miles Capo on 1st
There's no beEmginning to the story A bookshelf Bm7sinks into the sand And a language Clearned, forgot in turn GStudied once again D/F#
It's a shocking bit of footage Viewed on a shitty TV screen You can squint at it The snow and static To make out what it means And keep stretching that antenna Hoping that it will come clear I need some reception A higher message Please tell me what to feel Chorus:
'Cause CI don't Dknow what toGmorG/Brow bCrings It's alive with Dsuch possiGbiG/BlitiCes But I know that DI feel Gbetter G/Bwhen I Csing B7add4 Burdens are lifted from me That's my voice Emrising
So T-Bone, please keep the tape rolling Gil keep strumming that guitar We need a record of our failures We must document our love I sat too long in my silence Grown too old on my pain To shed this skin, be born again It starts with an ending Chorus: And I don't know what tomorrow brings It's full of such possibilities But I know that I feel better when I sing Burdens are lifted from me That's my voice rising Solo
CIt's not a movie,Bm7 no private screening Am7This method acting-D-I call it living CIt's like a fountain,Bm7 the door is open Am7We have a problem Dwith no solution C B7add4 But to love and to be loved
Solo Chorus: So thank you friends for the time we shared Your love stays with me like sunlight and air And though I truly wish I could keep hanging around here My joy is covering me, soon I will disappear Solo
He came Em7dancing across the water With his Dgalleons and guns Am7Looking for the new world
In the palace in the sun On the shore lay Montezuma With his coca leaves and pearls In his halls, he often wondered The secrets of the world And his subjects gathered round him Like the leaves around a tree In their clothes of many colors For the angry gods to see And the women all were beautiful And the men stood straight and strong They offered life in sacrifice So that others could go on Solo (over Cortez verse progression) Hate was just a legend And war was never known The people worked together And they lifted many stones Then they carried them to the flatlands But they died along the way And they built up with their bare hands What we still can't do today And I know she's living there And she loves me to this day I just can't remember when Or how I lost my way Solo (back to Method Acting verse progression)
