Artist: INXS
Song Name: Afterglow
Album: Switch (2005)
Tabbed in march 2006
Standard tuning
This is a great song to listen to -- even more fun to
play on the guitar. I learned most of the chords from
the INXS fanclub Podcast where JD sings it accompanied
with only an acoustic guitar, so I'm sure this is 99%
correct (it's much harder to tab from the album version
where the guitar is hidden behind the strings).
It's in the key of F# I believe. But whenever I see so
many sharpened chords, I suspect a capo was used.
If all the sharpened barre chords make your hand sore,
place a capo on the first fret, and lower each chord a
semi-tone, so C# become the easy-to-form C chord, F#
becomes F, A# becomes A, etc. That way you still
can play along with the album in key without the
trouble of the barre chords.
Here I am, lost in the light of the moon
that comes through my window
Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divides
the thorns from the roses It's you and the roses
Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow As I let you go
I will find my way when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow
Here I am, lost in the ashes of time,
but who owns tomorrow?
In between the longing to hold you again
I'm caught in your shadow, I'm losing control
My mind drifts away, we only have today
Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way
I will sacrifice 'til that blinding day when I see your eyes
When the veils are gone as I let you go, as I let you go
[yodelling chords: repeated twice]
Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow As I let you go
I will find my way, I will sacrifice
Now I'm living in your afterglow
Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divides
the thorns from the roses
It's you who is closest
