Back

Under The Milky Way Tab

by Church


Seen a few tabs but none are correct. Two acoustic guitars play the song but it works 
on one, with or without a capo. If playing with a capo, put it at the fifth fret and play 
shapes for the verse:

       or
    C6add13     
E-0-----0--------0-----2---|
B-0-----3--------0-----3---|
G-0-----0--------0-----2---|
D-2-----0--------2-----0---|
A-2-----2--------3---------|
E-0-----0--------0---------|

The same chords without a capo

        or
    C6add13          Or ()
E-5-----5--------5-----7---|     7--|
B-5-----8--------5-----8---|     8--|
G-5-----5--------5-----7---|     7--|
D-7-----5--------7-----5---|     9--|
A-7-----7--------8-----x---|     10-|
E-5-----5--------5-----x------------|     x

And if you're bad at barre chords these work fine:


               Or ()
E-0-----0(3)-----0------3--|     7-|
B-1-----3--------1------0--|     8-|
G-2-----0--------2------0--|     0-|
D-2-----2--------3------0----------|     x
A-0-----0--------x------2----------|     x
E-0-----x--------x------3----------|     x


All of these sound good to me. For the chorus you just do Fmaj7 to G twice. For the 
solo (apparently a violin with effects) do C, G and Am. If you're playing on a capo just do 
as a G shape. You can fit the melody into the chords if you like, the notes are just:

D----------------------------------------------|
A--3-3-3-2-3-5---------------------------------|
E--------------3-3-3-3-3-0h5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-|

Or something to that effect. And that's basically the song, apart from some of the lead 
Here are the lyrics. Enjoy and please rate.


Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty,
Sound of their breath fades with the light.
I think about the loveless fascination,
Under the milky way tonight.

Lower the curtain down in memphis,
Lower the curtain down all right.
I got no time for private consultation,
Under the milky way tonight.

Wish I knew what you were looking for.
Might have known what you would find.
Wish I knew what you were looking for.
Might have known what you would find.

And its something quite peculiar,
Something thats shimmering and white.
Leads you here despite your destination,
Under the milky way tonight
(chorus)
Under the milky way tonight.
