These chords are pretty much accurate for the whole song
but yea, just like play with the song it should work out perfect!
Intro
G (hold until the end of 'quicksand')
Over land, I traveled time and space and quicksand
x4
G x8 (play along with the song to find the beat)And for Gsixty days I knew no other road
And Gthrough the maelstrom, which turned in time with the kick drum
I was swallowed and twisted and spit out on a coast
And Gin this place there stands a gate that leads to the heart of the city
And I've spent seven years and a sea of fears in this broken mirror of a city
CListen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the Gcity
Sweet sunlight, I can see it in my mind's eye
And I remember feeling alright
And I saw black clouds and Turin shrouds and it smelled of a faded empire
GIt's all concrete and steel, we're asleep at the wheel, and the mayor's just a gun for hire
CListen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the Gcity
CListen to the sound there's a time bomb ticking in the Gcity
GI've heard the song the morning sings
Outside the gate is everything
CLet in the light! Let in the light!
GStreetwalker said to me she has no need for history
CShe has the key she has the key
GSweet sunlight, I can see it in my mind's eye
CLet in the light! Let in the light!
G (slow down tempo)
Waking up from a dream where I was the stone and you were the stream
Chemical City isn't all that you need but it's all that you're getting and they've hidden the key
CListen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the Gcity
CListen to the sound there's a time bomb ticking in the Gcity
I said this place is an unnatural disaster
And I'm a visitor here so I asked her:
CWhere are the trees, where are the Gtrees'
And she said free yourself from history
CThat is the key! That is the Gkey!
Sweet sunlight, I can see it in my mind's eye
C G (speed up - ROCK and ROLL)
I see the light! I see the light!
G(2 bars of 4:4 strumming) C x8 (same rythem as G intro)
G (steady palm muted strumming)
The gate is gone now, you better run
Outro
