I'd been searching high and low for a transcription of this amazing song
forever. I never found one so I decided to try and work it out on my own.
Let me warn you folks though that I didn't exactly try that hard to get it
note-perfect like some of you hardcore people do. So take this tab for what
it is and that's just my own version of the song - the way I play it, the
way I hear it through my normal stereo speakers. Enjoy yo'self!
Mouth On Fire
Duncan Sheik
Phantom Moon
pretend-tabbed by Arthur Liam del Mundo [arthurliam@gmail.com]
Tuning: D G D G B D (Open G)
intro and verse
refrain/chorus
"i brought my heart to feed..."
(verse 2x)
(refrain)
bridge A
"where the silver streets? where the blossoming?"
this part is admittedly the least accurate but it still kinda works
"la da da dah da da..."
"la da dah....la da dah....la nana na na nanah...."
"where all might cease...the talk the walk the posturing..."
(refrain)
outro
"where poetry? where mystic harmonies?"
