The Flaming Lips
"race for the prize"
here are the chords used:
[Fmaj7] [Em7] [F/C] [Cmaj7] [G]
[C]
N.B it's important to dampen the strings not being used in the intro to really emphasise the
walking down bass pattern of E D C B (the E in Fmaj7, the D in Em7, the C in C/F and the
B in Cmaj7) so keep the chords really tight and it'll sound great. The open E string on the
Em7 chord is optional, but i think it makes the chord sound "dirty".
INTRO
this is the keyboard part arranged for guitar with added chords for your strumming pleasure:
[Fmaj7] [Em7] [C/F] [Cmaj7]
[G]
[C]Two scientists were [F]racing
For the [G]good of all man[C]kind
Both of the [F]side by side
[C]So Determined[G]
[C]Locked in heated [F]battle
For the [G]cure that is their [C]prize
But it's so [F]dangerous
But [C]they're determined
[Fmaj7]Theirs is to win
[Em7]If it kills them
[Fmaj7]They're just humans
With [G]wives and children
REPEAT INTRO
[C]Upwards to the [F]vanguard
Where the [G]pressure is too [C]high
Under the [F]microscope
[C]Hope against hope[G]
[C]Forging for the [F]future
But to [G]sarcrifice their [C]lives
Both of them [F]side by side
[C]So determined
[Fmaj7]Theirs is to win
[Em7]If it kills them
[Fmaj7]They're just humans
With [G]wives and children
REPEAT INTRO
[Fmaj7]Theirs is to win
[Em7]It will kill them
[Fmaj7]They're just humans
With [G]wives and children
