Anthony Green - Dear Child (I've Been Dying To Reach You)
When he plays it live he plays it a whole step down (in D), but on the studio version
in standard tuning.
When he plays live he also just uses powerchords.
Intro:
[C#m] [A]
Verse:
[C#m]Dear child, they're asking us to move
I watched her taking off her [A]shoes
(Let the shore tide take you in, let the shore tide in)
[C#m]I'm weary, I'm not quite rested yet
This could be obvious to [A]you
(Let the shore tide take you in, let the shore tide in)
Pre-Chorus:
[F#m]In this short time we've been treading air
Chorus:
[E]I've been trying to reach you, [C#m]but my extension chord
[G#m]wouldn't reach that far (reach that far[A]...)
[E]I've been patiently waiting
[C#m]The indicator light is [G#m]flashing on (flashing on[A]...)
Post-Chorus:
[C#m]
Vers:
[C#m]Dear sleeper you could've found a better bed
I love to watch the way you [A]groove
We're out, we're out the door
We're out, we're out the door
Pre-Chorus:
[F#m]In this short time we've been treading air
Chorus:
[E]I've been trying to reach you, [C#m]but my extension chord
[G#m]wouldn't reach that far (reach that far[A]...)
[E]I've been patiently waiting
[C#m]The indicator light is [G#m]flashing on (flashing on[A]...)
Post-Chorus:
[C#m] [A]
Bridge:
[G#m]In this coma, [A]sleepless dancing
[G#m]We've been treading [A]air
Chorus:
[E]I've been trying to reach you, [C#m]but my extension chord
[G#m]wouldn't reach that far (reach that far[A]...)
[E]I've been patiently waiting
[C#m]The indicator light is [G#m]flashing on (flashing on[A]...)
[E]I've been trying to reach you, [C#m]but my extension chord
[G#m]wouldn't reach that far (reach that far[A]...)
Outro:
[E] [C#m] [G#m] [A]
End on E
