April Skies
by the Jesus and Mary Chain, from the album Darklands
tuning: all strings 1/2 step down ( )
(This is an old favourite -- always amazes me what
they do with just three chords. I find they mostly
strum the bass portions of chords, then sometimes
play the entire chord -- see what works for you.)
EEE
Hey honey whatcha trying to say
AAA
As I stand here don't you walk away
And the world comes tumbling down
EEE
Hand in hand in a violent life
AAA
Making love on the edge of a knife
And the world comes tumbling down
And it's hard for me to say
And it's hard for me to stay
I'm going down to be by myself
I'm going back for the good of my health
And there's one thing I couldn't do
Sacrifice myself to you
Sacrifice
(solo)
Hey baby I just can't see
Just what you mean to me
I take my hand and I fake my words
I'm just your long-time curse
And if you walk away I can't take it
But that's the way that you are
And that's the things that you say
And now you've gone too far
With all things you say
Get back to where you come from
I can't help it
Under the April skies
Under the April sky
Under the April sun
Under the April sky
ooh-ooh-oooh
ooh-ooh-oooh
ooh-ooh-oooh
ooh-ooh-oooh
Under the April sun
Under the April sun
Under the April sky
Under the April sun
Under the April sky
Sun grows cold, sky gets black
And you broke me up and now you won't come back
Shaking hand, life is dead
And a broken heart and a screaming head
Hey hey
Under the April skies
Under the April sun
Under the April sky
Under the April sky
