From: wbknox@unity.ncsu.edu Sent: Saturday, December 27, 1997 8:01 PM Song: Room Without a Window Band: Operation Ivy Album: Energy (1989) Written by Jesse Michaels, Lint Armstrong, Matt Freeman and Dave Mello Transcribed by Luke Knox (lukeknox@iname.com) Intro/Verse/Toast break chords used: G D C F E--3---2---3---1---| B--3---3---5---1---| G--4---2---5---2---| D--5---0---5---3---| A------------------| E------------------| Chorus chords used: E-----------------| B-----------------| G--3--------------| D--3---4---3------| A--1---4---3------| E------2---1------| Bb F# F [Intro:]
The poGsition being taken is Gnot to be mistaken for atGtempted eduDcation or Grighteous accusation. GOnly a description, Gjust an observation of the pGitiful condGition of oGur degGeneraGtioGn.
[Verse:](played with ska upstrokes)
CWalls made of opinions, through Fwhich we speak and Gnever listen. CeiCling made of pride, vicFious and self-satGisfied. CDoor that's made of rage, Fhard and slowly aGged, alCways closing tighter with Fevery war we Gwage.
[Chorus:]
In this Bbroom without a window F#can't see Fout. BbRoom without a window, CanF#'t see out! CanF't see out!
[Verse:]
CFloor is made of lives, we'll gFladly end to Gstay inside. CCorners made of borders, and Fborders made of lGaw and order. CPainted with the words of poliFticians and relGigion, Cplastered with the wreckage of our Fcultural divGision.
[Chorus] [Toast break:] (C - F repeated.) Ha ha ha ha ha Oh, we so stupid! Killing each other. Don't we learn nothin'? [Bridge:](2x) (continue C - F) Got a room inside our minds, yeah we gotta, we can't see out because we're blind, but I got to choke. Gotta make ourselves drink (all right) from a room without a window to a different way to think. [Intro] Then play the verse chords, with the words from the chorus. End on a C. That's it! I hope this sounds right to you. E-mail me with any comments, etc. Luke
