"1983..." (Hendrix (Jimi)) Retour

note: I condensed some of the overdubs into one guitar,
but I wrote out the harmonies as separate guitar lines.

Lyrics:

D      
Hooray I awake from yesterday, 
C#m7
alive but the war is here to stay
C6
So my love Catherina and me decide to 
Bm7
take our last walk thru the noise to the sea
Bb6
Not to die but to be re-born 
Asus
away from the lands so battered and torn...
A5      D5
forever
         C  D   C#
forever

D
Oh say, can you see it's really such a mess
C#m7
Every inch of Earth is a fighting nest
C6
Giant pencil and lipstick-tube shaped things
Bm7
continue to rain and cause screamin' pain
Bb6
And the arctic stains from silver blue to bloody red
Asus
as our feet find the sand and the sea
Am
is straight ahead
D               Am7   D
Straight up ahead

Bridge:
          D
Well it's too bad
         A
that our friends
          C       G
can't be with us today
Well, it's too bad
     D
The machine
        A
that we built
                C                        G
would never save us, that's what they say
That's why they ain't comin' with us today
                         D
And they also said "It's impossible
             A
for a man to live and breathe underwater
C                        G
forever", was a main complaint (too bad)
Yeah. And they also threw this in my face, they said
 D               
"Anyway, you know good and well
A
it would beyond the will of God
          C
and the grace of the King"
             G
Grace of the King
Yeah

D A C G
D A C G

Ooo

      D
So my darling and I make love in the sand
    C#m7
to salute the last moment ever on dry land
     C
Our machine has done its work, played its part well,
          Bm7
without a scratch on our body, and we bid it farewell
Bb5
Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smile (Why)
A5
Before our heads go under we take our last look at the killing noise
                C     
of the out of style
Amsus
The out of style, out of style, oh yeah
D
Ooo
