Chord/Tab song: Nothing but the Truth

01 Nothing But the Truth
Brooker / Reid

Is it on, Tommy? (don't know if the chords are right in the intro but the bassnotes are
might be some misshearings about minor or major, sometimes it sounds best to play
without a 3rd.)

Intro

middle8
[D(m)]Like Icarus we flew too high
[Bb]We flew too near the sun[C][G]
[D(m)]They caught us in that awful glare
[Bb]Our hapless throats were s[C]trung[G]
But j[C]ust be[D]fore the f[C]inal st[D]roke
They [C]took us [G]victims o[C]f the ro[G]pe
And [C]cast us f[D]ar bey[C]ond the d[D]eep
To [C]lie in n[G]ever en[C]ding sl[G]eep

Intro

verse
It seems as clear as yesterday
They cast us in the deep
We lie in darkest night for good
Never ending sleep
A never ending bitter gloom
Whose darkness seldom clears
A God forsaken emptiness
Which fills our hearts with tears

Chorus

Intro

End on A Major
