Indigo Girls - Galileo

# GALILEO (Emily Saliers) ----------------------- [Amy plays this in E, capoed up 1 to F. Emily plays it in C with a capo on the fifth fret and her guitar tuned to DADGBC. I'm going to write down Emily's chords, because they're easier and more interesting. If you want to play Amy's chords, you can figure them out; since it's in E, there are a lot of barre chords.] [Actually, when I play this, I usually just play Emily's chords, but in standard tuning so I don't put my high E in danger of breaking when I tune back up. If you play in standard tuning, play the verse as C G F G7-G6; it's pretty easy to play the G7 - G6 part, as long as you play G as 320003 with your pinky on the high E string. Just play Em(C)/B as Em, and play D13 as D or D11 (554030).] [Each chord is half a measure, except "G7 - G6" is half a measure _total_.] G Dsus C6(9) D7 - D6 G Dsus C6(9) D7 - D6 [intro] G Dsus C6(9) D7 - D6 Galileo's head was on the block G Dsus C6(9) D7 - D6 The crime was looking up the truth G Dsus C6(9) D7 - D6 And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode Em Em(C)/B C6(9) Dsus I try to trace them to my youth And then you had to bring up reincarnation Over a couple of beers the other night And now I'm serving time for mistakes Made by another in another lifetime G Dsus C6(9) Dsus How long till my soul gets it right? Can any human G Dsus C6(9) Dsus being ever reach that kind of light? I call on the Then I think about my fear of motion Which I never could explain Some other fool across the ocean years ago Must have crashed his little airplane How long till my soul gets it right? Can any human being ever reach that kind of light? I call on the resting soul of Galileo C6(9) Dsus G G King of night vision, king of insight G Dsus C6(9) D7 - D6 G Dsus C6(9) D7 - D6 [guitar solo] G Dsus C6(9) D7 - D6 Em Em(C)/B A13 A13 [guitar solo] C6(9) Dsus G Dsus C6(9) Dsus G Dsus C6(9) Dsus [guitar solo] I offer thanks to those before me That's all I've got to say 'Cause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime Now I have to pay But then again it feels like some sort of inspiration To let the next life off the hook She'll say, "look what I had to overcome from my last life I think I'll write a book" How long till my soul gets it right? Can any human being ever reach the highest light? Except for the resting soul... (God rest his soul) C6(9) Dsus G Dsus C6(9) Dsus King of night vision, king of insight G Dsus C6(9) Dsus How long till my soul gets it right... G Dsus C6(9) Dsus How long till I meet that highest light... G Dsus C6(9) Dsus G. How long? CHORDS (tuning is DADGBC): G: x32010 Dsus: 5x0030 C6(9): 3x0010 D7: 5x0035 D6: 5x0034 Em: x02210 Em(C)/B: x22000* A13: 009900 C/E: x03210 C#dim/E: x04210 *this should probably be called Cmaj7/B, but in the context, it sounds more like E minor, so I'm calling it "E minor with an added C (and B bass)." - Adam Schneider, schneider@pobox.com
