Under The Milky Way

The Church

#From: marc@owlnet.rice.edu (Marc Bennett Hirsh)
Am Sometimes when this  Am7sus4 place gets kind of  Fmaj7 empty     G
Am The sound of the bre Am7sus4 ath fades with the  Fmaj7 light     G
Am I think  Am7sus4 about the  Fmaj7 loveless fasci G nation
Am Under the  Am7sus4 Milky Way  Fmaj7 tonight   G
Am Lower the  Am7sus4 curtain down on  Fmaj7 Memphis   G
Am Lower the  Am7sus4 curtain down all  Fmaj7 right     G
Am I've got no  Am7sus4 time for  Fmaj7 private consul G tation
Am Under the  Am7sus4 Milky Way  Fmaj7 tonight   G
G Wish I knew what you were  Fmaj7 looking for
G Might have known what you  Fmaj7 would find
Am And it's s Am7sus4 omething quite pe Fmaj7 culiar    G
Am Something  Am7sus4 shimmering and wh Fmaj7 ite       G
Am That leads Am7sus4  you here  Fmaj7 despite your desti G nation
Am Under the  Am7sus4 Milky Way tonight Fmaj7           G
G Wish I knew what you were  Fmaj7 looking for
G Might have known what you  Fmaj7 would find
G Wish I knew what you were  Fmaj7 looking for
G Might have known what you  Fmaj7 would find
(bitchin' synth bagpipe solo)

Am Under the  Am7sus4 Milky Way tonight Fmaj7  (repeat) G
Now the chords. There are two guitars. One plays these chords in
open position, and the shapes are as such:
E-[Am]0---[Am7sus4]--3------[Fmaj7]--0-----[G]3-----[C]0--
B-1-----3--------1-----3-----1--
G-2-----2--------2-----0-----0--
D-2-----2--------3-----0-----2--
A-0-----0--------------2-----3--
E----------------------3--------
The other guitar is capoed up on the 5th fret, and the chord forms
are these (assuming that we treat the 5th fret as the nut):
E-[Am]0---[Am7sus4]--0------[Fmaj7]--0-----[G]0-----[C]3--
B-0-----3--------0-----3-----3--
G-0-----2--------0-----2-----0--
D-2-----0--------2-----0-----0--
A-2-----2--------3-----------2--
E-0-----0--------------------3--
If you plan on playing this with only one guitar, I strongly
recommend using the second set of chords, as the high capoed notes
ring out very nicely and sound more like the whole song in general.
