Simply listen to the song to get your timings right. There are a few offbeats and
dropped lyrics but the pattern is very similar throughout. I've tabbed everything
required for you to get it down pat after a couple tries. Really pump out some
melancholy when you play it as well. Enjoy.
Capo 5th
There's a crCack
In the haCndle of a coronation C/Fcup
That I onC/Fce brought back
CFrom the study trip in ACthens
Where we pC/Flaited my hair
And I put C/Feyeliner on
CUntil they stopped in the Cstreet
And poiC/Fnted at me
and i fC/Felt ugly pride
CFor the firCst time in my liC/Ffe
There's a warm, warm raCin
Upon the Chotel balcony
Where we C/Flooked out upon
a darkening sea and the
Clight And the lCight upon the mC/Fediterranean
C/FBurned like candles in the memory
Of aCll the thiCngs that we mislaid on the C/Fway here
CWhy did NCirvana ever bother to plC/Fay here?
C/FHey there, I don't want to stay here
CI decree thCere is a higher plane
CSome place of lC/Fittle consequencCe
CThat I migCht see your face again
Cbefore the liC/Fving and the deaCd
Are C/FreunCiteCd
And this town,
this town is killing me now
I can't believe I waited so long
From the shopping trolleys on the riverbed
To the sound of the bass binss booming
Can I see your face in this acid light
Of another suburban evening
As I roll my eyes up to these dirty skies
Till I count the days till I am leavin
I decree there is a higher plane
Some place of little consequence
That I might see your face again
before the living and the dead
Are reunited
What is love?
What is love in the time of ecstasy
And bare-knuckle fighting?
Lord, won't you deliver me from the wave machine
And the transparent bikini
Like isn't there some skeleton on me
I should find that I might vanquish thee,
Wont you listen to me, your unfaithful servant
of filthy, fucking language
I decree there is a higher plane
Some place of little consequence
That I might see your face again
before the living and the dead
Are reunited
What is love
What is love in the time of ecstasy
And bareknuckle fighting
Don't tell me that he died for that
Councillor forgive me for I
Knew not what I vandalised
Don't tell me that he died for that
Take me down to the Paradise club
Where the girls are drunk and oversized
DOn't tell me that he died for that
There's a crack in the handle of a coronation cup
That I once brought back
I decree there is a higher plane
Some place of little consequence
