Sweet Invisible, by Boo Hewerdine
From Ignorance, 1992.
This is played with the capo on the first fret. The tabs refer to the chord shapes on
tuning.
D G x 4
[D]Everyone a secret [G]life
[D]A secret sorrow, secret [G]wife
[D]Somewhere they think that they can [G]hide
[D]But all the time I knew
[G]I was watching you
[D]Up the ladder to the [G]roof
[D]Halfway between hell and the [G]stars
[D]We talked about the humdrum [G]truth
[D]And all the time I knew
[G]And I was watching you
[A]Sweet, [G]sweet
[A]Sweet, [G]sweet
[D]Sweet invisi[G]ble
[D]Sweet in[G]visible
[D]Sweet in[G]visible[A]
He can't [G]touch you any [A]more
[Bm]You only get one chance so [A]take it
[Bm]Or spend your whole life learning to fa[Asus4]ke [A]it
[D] [G]
[D]And the traces that we [G]leave
[D]And the loved ones in dis[G]tress
[D]Their sleep patterns in a [G]mess
[D]And all the time they knew
[G]And they were watching you
[A]Sweet, [G]sweet
[A]Sweet, [G]sweet
[D]Sweet invisi[G]ble
[D]Sweet in[G]visible
[D]Sweet in[G]visible[A]
He can't [G]touch you any [A]more
[D]So they come to the same place every [G]day
To watch each other, but they never [D]meet
So they come each day to the same [G]place
To watch each other, but they never [D]meet
They never meet[G]
[D]Sweet invisible[G]
On the D, I think Boo pulls off to get a Dsus2 on the second to last beat of the two
on D. He does something similar to introduce a G6 on the bars with G. Listen to the song -
get it.
