Melpomene Tab

by Kashmir


Artist: Kashmir
Song: Melpomene
Album: Zitilites
[edit: I've changed all the "Hm" chords to "Bm". It's the same chord.]
[to all the danish readers it is an english Bm ;)]

                                         
something tells me that I'm left without a chance
                                     
in my supicious attempts to get her close
                                   
enough to close my lips around her smile
                                                   
now I can't close my eyes when she's around
        
she is around
                                    
passing like the wind that shapes the clouds
                           
she is around, she is around


                                           
I don't know how but suddenly it has been a while
                                            
and we've been walking in through that same front door
                                      
undressing like there were no parts to hide

and calling each other names we never had
           
you never heard
             
and then an unexpected turn
         
and we hit the kerb
                     
a stupid term, a fatal word



flutter girl
                    
killing me with her sunshine

sunshine
              
she's so unaware
                   
that she's my melpomene


             
you broke the code
                            
just like I'm sure you always do
                         
without intentions but I know
                           
that's how I broke away from you
                          
now that the clouds are obsolete
                         
I hope you landed on your feet
              
without those evil demons

keeping you reminded of...

                         
the war's they pulled us through
                             
as fragile hearts ran short of glue
                            
as we're both running out of time
                            
and seek to drown the fact in wine
                       
it should be honest and naïve
                                
like we should give, we should receive
          
I must be jaded fading 
                      
out of function into solitude


---Solo--

killing me with her sunshine

sunshine
              
she's so unaware
                   
that she's my melpomene


flutter girl
                    
killing me with her sunshine

sunshine
              
she's so unaware
                   
that she's my melpomene


Note that in the second part of the B-part, "the war's they..." you have
to "play" a little around with the chords the get the right sound. If I have
the time, I'll post some tabs for that and maybe the solo. 
Cheers, GWiZ.
