Bob Mould - The Descent
Nice and simple song, not 100% sure if correct, just a rough draft -
you can use powerchords only as well, maybe mix it up a little...
Intro:
A F#m D (4x)
Verse:
[C#m]I started out so starry-[D]eyed
A F#m D (2x)
Full of hope and wonder
[C#m]And I wore flowers in my [D]hair
A F#m D (2x)
Not aware I'd been defiled
Bridge:
[E](Every [D]time I see you) I [E]know it's go[D]ing down
[E](How can [D]I believe you?) [E]Karma co[D]mes around
Chorus:
[A]I k[Bm]now this r[D]ide, you must be there by my side
[A]You[Bm] going d[D]own, I must be descending
(play Intro and Verse like before)
I didn't want to play the song
That gave people so much hope
I turned my back and turned away
Here's the rope that made me choke
(Every time I see you) I know it's going down
(How can I believe you?) Karma comes around
D A Bm (repeat)
You can see it in my eyes
You can read it on my face
You can hear it as I cry
God, I hope it's not too late
Can I try to make it up to you somehow?
Can I try to make it up to you somehow?
Solo-Part:
F#m E Bm D (2x)
[D]You can [A]see it in my [Bm]eyes
You can read it on my [D]face
You can [A]hear it as I [Bm]cry
God, I hope it's not too [D]late [A]
Can I [Bm]try to make it up to you some[D]how? [A]
Can I [Bm]try to make it [A]up [F#m]to yo[(E)]u some[D]how?
Now my [A]race is finally [Bm]run
And as I tumble to the [D]sun
All these [A]dreams I can't ach[Bm]ieve
Brought me [A]cra[F#m]shing to[(E)] my k[D]nees
My descent has now begun
All the music left undone
My world, it is descending
(play D A Bm A F#m (E) D until the end, end on D)
