Fm(133111)

G (355433)
C (x35553)
F (133211)



I figured out the piano bits too but here is the guitar chords (which you could
almost play on piano and it would be almost the smae anyway)..anyway here it is..

intro:

Fm (acoustic)


Fm
Well you've got your bags together 
Fm
And you're off in to the new world 
Fm
The mother is inpatient 
Fm
With four sons, she wanted four girls 

Bbm
The father's wrapped in memories 

Of European relations 
        Fm
Couting flurries on the window 

As he dials another station coming home 


(riff A)  p lace twice
electric guitar comes in here:(the '~'s mean 'let ring' or something)

Fm       G      C   G     G      C   G
-----|-x--------3-3--------------3-3----
-----|-x-3-3~---5-5-3-----3-3~---5-5-3--
-----|-x-4-4~---5-5-4-----4-4~---5-5-3--
-----|-x-5-5~---5-5-5-----5-5~---5-5-5--
-----|-x-5-5~---3-3-5-----5-5~---3-3-5--
-----|-x-3-3~-------3-----3-3~-------3--


* verse riff *
then for the verses...(don't strum to much..jus one or two time for
each time i have a chord written...listen to the song..you'll see)

     G                            C           G
It's black upon black, he's still cutting the track 
    C         G        C              G
Old Ireland's heart my still call him back 
       C           G              C            G
At the edge of the scene, the old glasses were round 
    C        G              F
The siren is heard, its the cue for his sound 


"chorus riff": place twice

               ----------------- (played on piano..but this works for guitar)
       G       --2-2-3--2-2-2-3- (play while playing the G..sounds better)
well alright!  --0-0-0--0-0-0-0-
               -----------------
               -----------------
               ----------------- 


(repeast verse riff)
As sovereign of all, he's likely second to none 
The change is complex and it's only take one 
At the edge of the scene, he's revered by the most 
Not just under our feet, but from here to the coast 


repeat chorus


"interlude" riff" place twice

before it goes back into the verse he plays
(piano arranged for guitar)

Fm
----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
--8-6------------6---8--6------8-6------------
------8-8 6-8--8---8------8-6--------8-8-6-8---
----------------------------------------------



(repeat verse riff)
The ties that are loose are the ones that he binds 
If we wander off track he'll keep us aligned 
At the edge of the scene, not unlike in D.C. 
Its the sound from down there, years ago set him free 

repeat chorus

(repeat verse riff)
My story is tame, no its not very wild 
Expectations were debated for this only child 
At the edge of the scene, when our secret's revealed 
You know it's my life and it's the way that I feel 

repeat chorus

play the 'interlude riff' twice


Fm
When you're miles above Pacific 

Ocean waters without angels 

Wings will help with getting closer 

When my headphone chord untangles 

Bbm
Oh pilot, can you hear me 

Our destination beckons 
         Fm
Counting raindrops on the windshield 

Yet skies are clear he reckons for tonight


Then it plays around with the Fm pentatonic scale..
something like this (not exact)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------1-1------------------1-1--------------1-1--------------1-1--------
----1-3------3-3-1------1-3------3-3~------1-3-----3-3-1----1-3-----3-3~---

-3-----------------3---3----------------------3------------------3--------------3-1-3~--
