Chord transcription by Jose Javier Glaria <jglaria@iies.es>, 9/9/97. Comments and corrections welcome, though fast response not promised.
Notation: Modifications to the nominal chord by indication of the string (1 is high E) and fret. Examples: E(3-0) would be Em. Em(2-3) would be Em7.
A superstrong song, with accumulating tension finally released in "... so stra a a ange".
Last Frame (The Quiet Zone / The Pleasure Dome)
[Intro:]
(Am F) [x 3]
Am F Am
Pretty keen - yes, my hobby keeps me busy;
F
and if I talk to myself, what's the [, well, that's not a] crime?
C(2-0) F(1-0,2-0) A(2-0)
In the darkroom I am a dealer in space and time...
G(2-3) D
when all memory is [has] mellowed,
F
when the photograph is yellowed,
A(2-3,3-0) A(2-3,3-0,6-3)
still it never lies.
F(1-0,2-0) A(2-3,3-0,6-3)
There you are, your eyes laced with secret pleasure,
F(1-0,2-0)
saying that you're on the way to change,
C(2-0) F(1-0,2-0)
devouring in inordinate measure
A(2-0)
every diversion that's arranged.
G(2-3) D
For every appetite, a cruel attraction,
F
but there's a panic in your actions;
E B A(2-3) C G(2-3) G(1-0) Am
oh, I never saw you look so stra_ a_a_ a_ ange.
Am C G(2-3) G(1-0) Am (three times, whith 2 alternating different timings)
E(3-2) D G
Fixing memory chemically,
E(3-2) D G
holding time on the stop-clock,
E(3-2) D
hanging back from that last frame
G(2-3) D A
just in case it didn't [doesn't] show you
G(2-3) D
in the way I used to know you...
F E B A(2-3) C G(2-3) G(1-0) Am
I thought you'd always stay the sa_ a_ a_ a_ ame.
[But you won't.]
Am C G(2-3) G(1-0) Am (3 times, whith 2 alternating different timings)
C G(2-3)
E(3-2) D G ( x 3 )
D G
Am C G(2-3) G(1-0) Am (aproximate. 5 or 6 times with different
timings and lengths)
Am A(2-3) (8 or 9 times)
A A A G G G D D D A G G A (humble attempt to cue about the rithm)
A A A G G G D D D D A
A G D A G A
The red light, the silver, the black and the bromide;
A G D A
the silence, the waiting for overview...
C(2-0) F(1-0,2-0)
The past seems under-exposed, low tide,
A(2-0)
but still the images ghost through.
A G
And you're there in the bath,
F A
which is all this has led to,
A G
and I can't say your path
F A
is a right one to choose...
G(1-0) D A
But then I only have a negative of you.
A G F A [6 or 7 times until end]
