(G) ---7---5---2---0---
(D) --steady 1/8 notes all the way
#once again, there's a melody line played on the E string with
#the chords, it just alternates between D Dsus2 and Dsus4;
#with the Bm chord, its easier to play a "cheater" chord (no barre)
#then pick out the notes. Or I guess you could play straight chords if
#you're a weenie
D Could it be that  Bm one small voice d D oesn't count in the  Bm world
Em Yellow like a geisha  A dawn  Em deny it all the  A way
Could this be three beaten
Autumn marches on
Yellow like a geisha dawn deny it all the way
D Sh A aking  G throu A gh a D ll t A he  G day
Or have we gone way too far
Taking after rain
Yellow like a geisha dawn deny it all the way
Shaking through all the day
Shaking through opportune
Em In my l A ife        Em         A
Is that a steal
Children of today on parade
Yellow like a geisha dawn deny it all the way
Shaking through all the day
{ci:At the end, the chorus gets played a key up for a while, so it's
#E B A .... then end on a big 'ol B
