Silence The Voices Tab

by Chris Cornell


Song: Silence the voices
Artist: Chris Cornell
Album: Carry on
Tuning: Standard



It's a first draft. The song definitively has more
complicated chords than the major chords here,
but that's all I can do.



Intro:
  
      
Verse:

                     
There the soldiers, in the sunlight
                                     
Kill the center of a man in endless suicide
                       
By the night light, in foreing sky
                                                
Is a holstered, bridled child spinning 'round the flame?
                       
Each is loved now or remembered
                                       
By the mask they wore years before the future
                            
And the horse falls in the smoke filled riot
                                    
The center of a child grows in new disguise


Chorus:
                                
Where are the songs from the sane minds?
                                 
And where are words from the sound mouths?
                                                                  
I can't understand how they silence the voices


Verse:
                      
It's a new day, in the old life
                                       
He looks healthy with a tan on the white sheath
                              
Across the table, where the blood dries
                                        
Where infinity will greet these earthly confines


Chorus:
                                
Where are the songs from the sane minds?
                                 
And where are words from the sound mouths?
                                                                  
I can't understand how they silence the voices

(Picking the chords)

Bmx2    A#x2   Amx2
    That say no
G#x2      Riff1x2
    That say no
                      
It's a new day, in the old life
                      
In the silence of the absence


                                
Where are the songs from the sane minds?
                                 
And where are words from the sound mouths?
                                                                  
I can't understand how they silence the voices
         
That say no
                                      
I can't understand how they silence the voices
