Peter Gabriel — Family Snapshot Chords
Hi there,
This is a great song but it was pretty hard to figure out the chords since it's played
the piano, anyway maybe some parts are wrong but I think it sounds good
Standard tuning with capo on the 1st fret
A D A
The streets are lined with camera crews
E D
Everywhere he goes is news
G Cm
Today is different
G Cm
Today is not the same
G Cm
Today I make the action
C C* G
Take snapshot into the light, snapshot into the light (twice)
C C* C
Im shooting into the light
F#m
Four miles down the cavalcade moves on

Driving into the sun

If I worked it out right
A Asus4 A Asus4
They wont see me or the gun

Two miles to go, theyre clearing the road
E
The cheering has really begun
A Asus4

A Asus4 A Asus4
I can hear whats going on

Ive been waiting for this
I have been waiting for this
All you people in tv land
I will wake up your empty shells
Peak—time viewing blown in a flash
As I burn into your memory cells
cos Im alive
