Chord transcription by Mikayel Abazyan mikayelabazyan@yahoo.com
Playing tips
In its progress, the initial B chord, which sounds as a single B note,
slightly gets shades of Em. However B is stays as bass note for it.
Since this is eventually my interpretation of this pH song (hence is never
ultimate), I decided to vary B, Em, and Em/b (Em with B as bass note)
combinations. You will need to check with the studio original and decide
how to play.
B C B C
I'm getting the idea, I haven't got a clue.
B C
As my fabulous career ends up dead in the gutter
D
the stars are shining down right on cue.
B C B C
It's not much of a shock, it comes as no surprise
Em C
that changing all the locks when the horses have bolted
B C
is a useless exercise.
B C Em/b C
And play it how I will and say it as I may
B C
I won't pick that poison pill as a effortless exit
B
from the Mystery Play.
D C/c C/b G D C G
I'm so glad I'm still here to see this,
D C/c C/b G D C B
the break of day at the end of the long dark night...
Em/b C Em/b C
All's not as it appears, this tale has many twists -
Em/b C
but if I wasn't here documenting the story
D C
would that mean that the plot did not exist?
Em/b C Em/b C
Oh, would it not be absurd if there was no objective state?
Em/b C
What if the unobserved always waits, insubstantial,
B
till our eyes give it shape?
D C/c C/b G D C G
I'm so glad that I'm still here to see this,
D C/c C/b G D C G
the whole story is unfolding before my eyes;
D C/c C/b G D C G
I'm so happy I can barely believe it...
D C/c C/b G D C G
this simple pleasure is the mystery spice of life.
B C B
And I am happy just to breathe in the quality of the light.
Em C B C
I'm getting the idea, I'm seeing things anew,
Em C
it's all becoming clear at this delicate juncture
B C
there can be no false nor true.
Em C B C
I want to have it all, I want to see the whole thing through...
Em C
It's a fifty fifty call: maybe Schrodinger's cat
B (?)
could be the Cheshire one too?
D C/c C/b G D C G
I'm so glad that we're both here to see this:
D C/c C/b G D C G
the chink of light in the tunnel of love's embrace.
D C/c C/b G D C G
I'm so happy I can barely believe it
D C/c C/b G D C G
A simple pleasure in the simple things makes life great.
B C
