"It's a magic song" (c) Anton Newcombe
Note: based on a version that Anton Newcombe doing in June 2013 via live stream on his DeadTV channel at
Ustream with Lukas Wagner and Tom. But in album version of that song used same chords, so its fine.
Note #2: for this song you extremely need capo on 1st fret. With capo it sounds really amazing and exactly how
it planned author. Actually you can play it without capo (it will be same chords), but its a your choice.
Note #3: your play style in this song it's important thing. When you playing, you don't need hit all strings.
Hit only E, A in up and G, B, e in down of the strings. So in your head it's going: 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2... Like
russian play style, you know? Just listen to the song, and you get it.
Intro (just play it for a while, then go to words):
Am, F, Am, F, Am, C, Am
In that last Am verse are start.
Verse:
AmSilver rings and magic things, your Fchildren should not knAmow
AmEvil deeds are rotten seeds, the Fkind that never grAmow
You Fput them in the ground you knAmow
What you Cwill become? Mmm-mmm, I'll tell you sAmon
AmShe traded life for happiness with Fno regrets at aAmll
AmIt left a rotten emptiness, it Fleft her feeling smAmall
It Fleft her nothing left at aAmll
AmExcept something Cshe despised, mmm-mmm, you Amsee it in her eyes
---
Then going like:
Am, F, Am, F, Am, C, Am, C, Am, F (hold), Am, C, Am
So in this last Am words start again.
---
Verse:
AmShe traded love for liberty, a Fbold pursuit of fAmun
AmShe gave away her sanity and Ffound that she had noAmne
FWatch quickly now as she becomAmes
AmSomething that she Cdespised, mmm-mm, you feel it in hAmer
AmShe's living in a Clie, mmm-mmm, and she's the centAmer
AmShe gave away her Clife, mmm-mmm, she's not a sinnAmer
Then going solo part (other guitars playing like: Am, C, Am, C, Am, C, Am and same many times to end of the
song).
