Dont Fade Away Tab

by Dead Can Dance


Dead Can Dance
Don't' Fade Away
One of my favorites. I am pretty sure this is about 100 percent correct. I have worked
out the actual tabs but since it is too difficult to play tabs and sing, I have laid out
the chords here. Please note the chord tabs as I may have the chord names wrong.

Intro...
         Amsus4      Amsus4   
                        add 9   
Don't fade away..
           Amsus4      Amsus4   
My brown-eyed girl
                         add 9   
Come Walk with me..
                           Amsus4      Amsus4   
I'll fill your heart with joy
                    			      
And we'll dance through our isolation
					
Seeking solace in the wisdom we bestow
					
Turning thoughts to the here and ever after
				     
Consuming fears in our fiery halos

                           add 9   
Say what you mean..
                 Amsus4      Amsus4   
Mean what you  say
              add 9   
I've heard that innocence
                      Amsus4      Amsus4   
Has led us all astray
      	                         
But don't let them make you and break you
					
The world is filled with their broken empty dreams
	        	  
Silence is their only virtue
				    
Locked away inside their silent screams

	   
But for now...

			         
Let us dance away this starry night
			            
Filled with the glow of the fiery stars
			Emsus4           
And with the dawn our sun will rise
	                        Emsus4       
Bringing a symphony of birthright


Instrumental
(             ) x2
(  Emsus4     ) x2        
	                  
Don't bring me down, no
	   		   
Let me stay here for awhile
       
You know life's too short
	   		   
Let me bathe here in the sun
              	    
I'm transcending...leah, fall from the garden

Humming all along
( (bar3)  (bar2)  (bar5) ) x3
