Standard (EADGBE)
The story, it thrives on being lonely
All stray cats die unnoticed
Under our buildings
Ripe fruit falls quiet in the city
We struggle, we cry, we wonder how it came
to rotting
This wrench of drama twists everything
our petty problems rusting freindships
to the point of breaking
constant leveling, the hurt and hurting
the next part is without vocals, play this chord pro twice:
for 'There are no footprints in the pavement' go tacet, i usually strum along dead notes
the same rhythm the percussion does on the record, then play an Em with the same rhythm
as the 'all stray cats' line form teh beginning of the song and sing:
No reminder of our trail
From the escaping
Under this tragic weights of dying
remember, remember, remember how we came
to living
This wrench of drama twists everything
our petty problems rusting freindships
to the point of breaking
constant leveling, the hurt and hurting
The truth is somewhere in between
the songs we write and the shadows the moon is casting
levels everthing, our soiled sentry
we're still learning, our soiled century
the hurt and hurting
the only part I'm sketchy on is the ending there where it goes F, G. But it sounds
decent and is in key so that's how I play it. If you have suggestions, send 'em to me please.
