Song Name: Afterglow
Album: Switch (2005)
Tabbed in march 2006
Standard tuning
This is a great song to listen to -- even more fun to
play on the guitar. I learned most of the chords from
the INXS fanclub Podcast where JD sings it accompanied
with only an acoustic guitar, so I'm sure this is 99%
correct (it's much harder to tab from the album version
where the guitar is hidden behind the strings).
It's in the key of F# I believe. But whenever I see so
many sharpened chords, I suspect a capo was used.
If all the sharpened barre chords make your hand sore,
place a capo on the first fret, and lower each chord a
semi-tone, so C# become the easy-to-form C chord, F#
becomes F, A# becomes A, etc. That way you still
can play along with the album in key without the
trouble of the barre chords.
[C#]Here I am, [F#]lost in the light of the moon
that comes through my [C#]window
Bathed in blue, the [F#]walls of my memory divides
the thorns from the [C#]roses I[B]t's you and the ro[F#]ses
[A#] [G#] [A#] [F#]
[C#]Touch me and [B]I will follow[F#] in your afterg[C#]low
Heal me from [B]all this sorrow [F#] As I let [C#]you go
I will [B]find my way when I [F#]see your eyes
Now I'm [C#]living [G#]in your afterglo[A#]w[F#][C#]
[C#]Here I am, [F#]lost in the ashes of time,
but who owns tomo[C#]rrow?
[C#]In between the lo[F#]nging to hold you again
I'm caught in your [C#]shadow,[B] I'm losing cont[F#]rol
[A#]My mind [G#]drifts away,[A#] we only [F#]have today
[C#]Touch me and [B]I will follow [F#] in your afterg[C#]low
[C#]Heal me from [B]all this sorrow[F#]
As I let [C#]you go I will [B]find my way
I will [F#]sacrifice 'til that [B]blinding day when [F#]I see your eyes
Now I'm [C#]LIVINNNNG!!!!! [G#]in your a[A#]fterglowww[F#]wwwwwww!!!
When the [D#]veils are gone [A#] as I [D#]let you go,[A#] as I let you [G#]go
(yodelling chords: C# G# F# C# repeated twice)
[C#]Touch me and I [B]will follow i[F#]n your afterglow[C#]
Heal me from [B]all this sorrow [F#] As I le[C#]t you go
I will [B]find my way, I will [F#]sacrifice
Now I'm l[C#]iving[G#] in your afterg[A#]low[F#]
[C#]Bathed in blue, the [F#]walls of my memory divides
the thorns from the [C#]roses
[B] It's you who is [F#]closest
