This is a brilliant cover of the Kate Bush song "Hounds Of Love". You dont get many
covers which betters the original but this one does. I urge you to buy the Futureheads
debut album cos its the best album of 2004! To hear some of their songs go to
Anyway on with the tab:
(Intro) ooh oo ooh...
(muted)
When I was a child, running in the night, afraid of what might be
Hiding in the dark, hiding in the street, and of what was following me
(one downstroke each)
oo oo oo ooo oo oo oo
Hounds of love are calling
oo oo oo ooo oo oo oo
I've always been a coward
oo oo oo ooo oo oo oo
Bb (four quick downstrokes)
And I don't know what's good for me
F (let ring then pick bottom three strings individually starting with the g string)
Oh here I go, It's coming for me through the trees
Oh help me someone help me please
Take your shoes off, and I'll throw them in the lake
and you will be, two steps on the water
Do you know what I mean, do you know what I mean,
I need hey ya ya ya yeah yeah yeah yeah....
2nd verse
I found a fox, caught by dogs he let me take him in my hands
His little heart it beats so fast, and I'm ashamed to be running away
Nothing's real, I just can't deal with this,
I feel ashamed to be there (oo oo oo ooo oo oo oo)
(Chorus)
...Amongst your hounds of love
oo oo oo ooo oo oo oo
I've always been a coward
oo oo oo ooo oo oo oo
I feel your arms surround me
oo oo oo ooo oo oo oo
And I don't know what's good for me
oo oo oo ooo oo oo oo
