by David Sylvian





Finally, here are the chords (for those who haven't already figured them out by
now).               "Earthbound" by David Sylvian
                     off the Jean the Birdman cd single
Starts off with a D chord. Intro (riff 1) goes something like this:
-2-3-2-0-2-                            -2-0-0-2-|
-3-3-3-3-3-                            -3-3-3-3-|
G-2-2-2-2-2- strum D a few times then...-2-2-2-2-| the D is held until A on the
D-0-0-0-0-0-                            -0-0-0-0-| first line
-x-x-x-x-x-                            -x-x-x-x-|

   A black crow standing
              
   On a sea of shells
                   
   She's blessed by magic
                            
   And the sound of libery's bells
                 
   I'll raise the curfew

               *     
   And set by her door
                               & Riff 1
   She's been through this world before

the chords are the same for the second verse.
verse 3:
                 
   She's giving me questions
               
   And quizzical looks


                  
   She tears up my papers
                 
   And burns all my books
                
   They gave her nothing
                   *
   She didn't already know
                        & Riff 1
   She's getting ready to go

* means hold chord for 2 bars
the song repeats after this, with 2 on one off. meaning to say, the first set
of chords for 2 verses and then the second set of chords for the next (third)
