Illumination Tab

by Paul Weller


Mr. Weller also uses a little 'sus' action on both the E and the D chords. He also traps 
top E with the thumb on the D part. Listen to the song for more details and strumming pattern.

 /  Intro

Verse 1.

                    
I close my eyes - but sleep won't come
             
You're in my waking dreams
                              
It's a feeling right inside of me
                     
'til you're in my arms again

Verse 2.

                              
the prayer I ask - is where I'm going to
             
without your undying love
                                 
I'm as worthless as a cold, cold sun
                          
that shines for no-one - at all

Verse 3./Kind of a middle 8.

                      
how many times - must I return
                            
from distant oceans - just to learn

that with your song
           
illumination comes

Verse 4.


I close my eyes
      
and I hear no-one
         
I'm in a moving film
     
it's black and white
           
and beautiful
                   
and it has no end to write...
