Tuning:
This website has provided me with endless chord progressions over the years and so the time has come
for me to offer something back! This song is beautifully sad, and there aren't enough recordings of it.
So play play play (and share) for Alice's sake...
GAlice, Alice I'm well aEmware
There are some Cstrange things where you Dlive
And I won't Ggo there
GDown which hallway and
Through which door
EmWhat's this wonderland here for?
CTurn my cards, qDueen of hearts, asG you go there
GBusy busy busy bees
EmThese humans are such mysteries
CFloating around and never Dknowing what they Gwant
GSo go forth
EmGo forth with your morning dear
CWith the sun's arms on your back and the Dlove that you left behind
GFirst of all it was the year of the boar
EmAnd he greeted her with horns on a passage door
In the Cmiddle of the traffic on the morning of our Dfull moon
GFleeing into the coffee fields
EmWith strings of guilt tied to my heels
CThere's a man and he's searching
DHe's coming to reckon with me
GFavor his hands, blackened by fire
EmFavor our intentions and boyish desires
CThere's a reason that you came to me Dlucidly in my sGleep
EmHaaa
I am no Ccoward
You're superGhuman
Tapped into Dpower
EmHoooo
Your load is Cheavy
Will you be rGeady?
When the giants Dcome
I will be tGhere
G"You'll get yours"
EmCame out of my mouth
CTo the man who tied my hands
DI began to single out
GSir I know I've done many terrible things
EmAnd I'm concerned to finally find me in my dreams
CSuch bad behavior
DI am not the saGme
GI met all my rage
EmDisguised as a man
An then an angel appeared with this briefcase in hand
CDidn’t speak when he reached, he just Dheld me like you hold someone you love
GCradled I wept right out of my slumber
EmAnd wrote it all down, this is what I remember
CIt's reality speaking and sDeeking in my Gsleep
GCaught in the flow I just did what I do
EmI worked with my karma
EmAnd over time too
CTheres a reason that you came to me lDucidly in my sGleep
EmHaaaa
I am no cCoward
You're superDhuman
GTapped into Da power
EmOoooh
The load is Cheavy
Will you be Gready?
When the giants Dcome
I will be Gthere
GAlice, Alice I'm well aEmware
There are some sCtrange things where you lDive
And I have been tGhere
