GENESIS: "A TRICK OF THE TAIL"

Un viejo anhelo poder tocar ésta, una de las mejores canciones del Genesis post-Gabriel (y de las mejores en general, qué tanto). Y era menos complicada de lo que se podía imaginar. El original está en F#m, así que esto se iguala con transporte en 1. La intro y la estrofa inicial parecen difíciles pero no lo son tanto (ver diagramas), y una vez superadas el resto es una papa, muy disfrutable.

Intro: |Fm - C#/F - Eb/F - C#/F|

|Fm| Bored of the |C#/F| life in the city of |Eb/F| gold

He'd left and let |Fm| nobody |Bb/F| know
|Fm| Gone were the |C#/F| towers he had known from a |Eb/F| child
Alone with the |Fm| dream of a |Bb/F| life

......He |C| travelled the |F| wide open |G7| road,
......the blinkered ar-|Em| cade... in search of
......a-|G| nother to |F| share in his |Em| life
......|Em/D| No-|A| whe-|C| ere
......|Dm| Everyone |F| looked so |G| strange to him

............They've |Dm7| got no horns and they've got no tail
............They |Gm7| don't even know of our existence
............Am I |Dm7| wrong to believe in a city of gold
............That |Gm7| lies in the deep distance, he cried

And |Fm| wept as they |C#/F| led him away to a |Eb/F| cage
"Beast that can |Fm| talk", read the |Bb/F| sign
The |Fm| creatures they |C#/F| pushed and they prodded his |Eb/F| frame
And questioned his |Fm| story a- |Bb/F| gain

......But |C| soon they grew |F| bored of their |G7| prey
......The beast that can |Em| talk... more like
......a |G| freak or pu-|F| blicity |Em| stunt
......|Em/D| Oh, |A| no-|C|-o ... |Dm| Oh, |F| no-|G|-o

............They've |Dm7| got no horns and they've got no tail
............They |Gm7| don't even know of our existence
............Am I |Dm7| wrong to believe in a city of gold
............That |Gm7| lies in the deep distance, he cried

......And |D| broke down the door of the cage and marched on |F| out
......He |G7| grabbed a creature by the scruff of his neck, pointing |C| out |E|

............|A| There, beyond the |E6| bounds of your |D| weak imagi-|A| nation
............|A| Lie the noble |E6| towers of my |D| city, bright and |E| gold

......|A| Let |E| me
......|F#| take you there and |C#m7| show you a living |B| story |D|
......|A| Let me show you |C| others such as |D| me
......Why did |Gm7| I... ever |C7sus2| leave?

............They've |Dm7| got no horns and they've got no tail
............They |Gm7| don't even know of our existence
............Am I |Dm7| wrong to believe in a city of gold
............That |Gm7| lies in the deep distance, he cried and

Inter: |Fm - C#/F - Eb/F - C#/F|
         wept

And |Fm| so we set |C#/F| out with the beast and his |Eb/F| horns
And his crazy des-|Fm| cription of |Bb/F| home
After |Fm| many days |C#/F| journey we came to a |Eb/F| peak
Where the beast gazed a-|Fm| broad and cried |Bb/F| out

We |C| followed his |F| gaze and we |G7| thought and maybe we |Em| saw
A spire of |G| gold - no, a |F| trick of the |Em| eye
|Em/D| that's |A| a-|C|-ll
But the |Dm| beast was |F| gone and a |G| voice was heard

............They've |Dm7| got no horns and they've got no tail
............They |Gm7| don't even know of our existence
............Am I |Dm7| wrong to believe in a city of gold
............That |Gm7| lies in the deep distance, he cried and wept

Final: |Fm - C#/F - Eb/F - C#/F| - |Fm|
