Flying over the black town
Forces call to me to get right down
Work it out again to catch my trout
Throw it in these effects unpacked
A Bmin
Ground Breaks, direction
C#min D
No one else could penetrate time
/Riff 1/ — (played once)
/Riff 1 — first part/ (played twice)
Learn you to move the grass above all time
Past moving up and all futures go back
/Riff 1 — second part/ (played twice)
Look at where you are you find no trace of time
Going in around in the only places you're free
/Riff 1/
Low birds, you were the full taste to this from downtown
/Riff 1/
A Bmin C#min D F#min
Lou Bergs, you were the full taste to this from downtown
A F#min A
F#min* A
You say what you want it was yours till you die
F#min A
To come up, you float down
F#min A
I drew and agony fall
F#min A
You grow back with your face down
F#min* A
The breast bone it feels
Bmin C#min D
You glow bright and you will always hear this sound

You can always have this back
/Riff 2/
It's so hard to make joy so sad
/Riff 1 — second part without its last note/
You can always just stand back
A
It's a hearts
Bmin
That make it
C#min D A
Grow down on faces
*F#min with your little finger on the fourth fret on the string e.
Note: I like this song very much but I haven't found a good tab for this song so I was
it unbidden in this way. This is my first tab, hope you like it. If it's not correct or
found some mistakes please write to me (dana4@freemail.hu). I think tuning is better
your tuner calibrated on 438Hz but you can play it in standard tuning, of course. Thanks
John.
