Mad World Tab

by Gary Jules


I've listened to the CD and this is in the correct key.
These chords are the ones used in the piano part and are all played in their
root position from the octave below middle C.  The main riff is based around
the Fm pentatonic scale and starts on an Ab, if you understand that! This is
basically a piano/keyboard tab and doesnt work as well on guitar, but try it
anyway!

Intro:

                                 

                
All around me are familiar faces 
	          
Worn out places – worn out faces 
                          
Bright and early for their daily races 
               
Going nowhere – going nowhere 
                      
Their tears are filling up their glasses 
             
No expression – no expression 
                     
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow 
           
No tomorrow – no tomorrow 

		                          
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad 
                                                  
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had 
                                            
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take 
                  
When people run in circles it’s a very very 
                        
            Maaaaaad world 
                          
            Maaaaaaad world 


                        
Children waiting for the day they feel good 
               
Happy birthday – happy birthday 
                        
Made to feel the way that every child should 
               
 Sit and listen – sit and listen 
                       
Went to school and I was very nervous 
              
No one knew me – no one knew me 
                     
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson 

                     
Look right through me – look right through me 

		                        
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad 
            	                                   
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had 
                                          
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take 
                 
When people run in circles it’s a very very 
                   
            Maaaaaad world 
                
Enlarge your world
