GENESIS: "UNDERTOW"

Pedida por Chiquito, víctima de la genesismanía. El tono original es E, capo en 2.



The |Dsus4| curtains are |D| drawn, now the |Bm13-| fire warms the |G| room
mean-|Gm| while out-|A7sus4| side
|Am7| Wind from the north-east chills the |Bm| air
It will soon be snowing |Em| out there |C - G|
And |Gm| some there |A7sus4| are
|Am7| Cold, they prepare for a sleepless |Bm| night
Maybe this will be their |Em| last fight |C - G

......But we're |Bm| safe in each other's em-|G| brace,
......All fears |Bm| go as I look on your |G| face

......Better |C/E| think a-|D/F#| while
......Or |Dm| I may never |C/G| think a-|G| gain
......If this were the |C| last day of your |F| life, my friend |Fm|
......|Em| Tell me, what do you think you would |A7| do then? |A7/13- A7|

............|D| Stand up to the |D4| blow |D 
............|Gmaj7| that fate has struck upon you
............|D| Make the most of |D4| all |D
............|Gmaj7you still have coming to you
............|Em| Lay down on the |Em/D| ground |A7| and let the tears run from you
............|Bm| Crying to the |G| grass and trees and |A| heaven finally |A7| on your knees

............|D| Let me live a-|D4| gain, |D
............|Gmaj7let life come find me wanting
............|D| Spring must strike a-|D4| gain |D|
............|Gmaj7| against the shields of winter
............|Em| Let me feel once |Em/D| more |A7| the arms of love surround me
............|Bm| Telling me the |G| danger's past
............I |F#sus4| need not fear the |F#| icy blast a-|B| gain (Tab.)

|Dsus4| Laughter and |D| music and |Bm13-| perfume linger |G| here
And |Gm| there, and |A7sus4| there
|Am7| Wine flows from flask to glass to |Bm| mouth
As it soothes confusing |Em| our doubts |C - G
And |Gm| soon we |A7sus4| feel
|Am7| Why do a single thing to-|Bm| day
There's tomorrow sure as |Em| I'm here |C - G

......So the |Bm| days they turn into |G| years
......And |Bm| still no tomorrow ap-|G| pears

......Better |C/E| think a-|D/F#| while
......Or |Dm| I may never |C/G| think a-|G| gain
......If this were the |C| last day of your |F| life, my friend |Fm|
......|Em| Tell me, what do you think you would |A7| do then? |A7/13- A7|

............|D| Stand up to the |D4| blow |D 
............|Gmaj7| that fate has struck upon you
............|D| Make the most of |D4| all |D
............|Gmaj7you still have coming to you
............|Em| Lay down on the |Em/D| ground |A7| and let the tears run from you
............|Bm| Crying to the |G| grass and trees and |A| heaven finally |A7| on your knees

............|D| Let me live a-|D4| gain, |D
............|Gmaj7let life come find me wanting
............|D| Spring must strike a-|D4| gain |D|
............|Gmaj7| against the shields of winter
............|Em| Let me feel once |Em/D| more |A7| the arms of love surround me
............|Bm| Telling me the |G| danger's past
............I |F#sus4| need not fear the |F#| icy blast a-|B| gain (Tab.)

  1. Gracias una vez más. Esta noche, además de emborracharme lastimosamente, me la imprimo y la paso.

  2. Ah, me olvidaba del mangueo nuestro de cada día. Podrá ser "LA" de Elliot Smith? Gracias de antemano. (Parece que uno es amable en exceso pero está claro que el gracias previo genera una presión en quien va a hacer el favor. Esa es mi intención).
