En exclusiva para el Universo, que parece carecer de toda transcripción de esta divertida canción del tan serio Genesis de Gabriel. El tono original es Cm. Sorprendentemente, es bastante fácil de tocar, aunque claro, hay que darle más lento, si la querés sacar igual de rápido que el original después te tienen que desenredar entre cuatro (PD: disculpas por los tres o cuatro pedidos que tengo atrasados, ya saldrán, pacencia, gracias):

I'm |Am| standing in a |Am7/G| doorway
on the |Bbmaj7| main square, tension is |Am| mounting

|C| More than we've ever |D7| seen
|C| Had to tighten |G| up se-|B7| curi-|E| ty
......|G#m| Over to the scene, at the |Eb7| town hall,
......the |G#m| lord mayor is ready to |Eb7| speak

The |Am| crowd was getting |Am7/G| stronger
and our |Bbmaj7| Harold getting |Am| weaker

|C| Fearing the very |D7| worst
|C| they called his |G| mother |B7| to the |E| sight
......|G#m| Upon the ledge be-|Eb7| side him,
......his |G#m| mother made a last re-|Eb7| quest:
