These Chains

Marillion

Intro (no guitar) ===== Verse (no guitar) ===== Everything crashed His wife left him He lost all his money And most of his friends He lay awake all night Lonely and desperate Contemplating starting again Chorus (no guitar) ====== These chains are all your own These chains are comfortable Verse (Gtr. 1 strums chords) ===== Four in the morning Sat in the kitchen Keys on the table Went out for a drive He didn't know Where he was going Didn't know If he was alive Bridge (Gtr. 1 strums chords) ====== The dawn was breaking A new day was rising Shadows creepin' over the fields He watched the pink light Steal across the horizon He realised ...he saw with new eyes Chorus (Gtr. 1 strums chords) ====== These chains are all your own These chains are comfortable This cage was never locked Born free but scared to be Interlude (no guitar) ========= Guitar Solo =========== Gtr. 1 strums: Gtr. 2 *vibrate w/bar e|---------------------10-------------------------------12------------| B|-------------8-10b12----r10p8-10------------------------------------| G|-9-12b14p9-9---------------------9-9~-----12-14-14b16----14b16~~----| D|--------------------------------------s14------------------------14-| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------| e|----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------15----------------------------------------------5-7-5-7b8-7-| G|-12h14b16----14-12-14-------7b8-----------------------4-6-------------| D|----------------------14~-9-----9-8-7----7-------s4-6-----------------| A|--------------------------------------10---10-7~----------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------| A.H e|-----------------------------12~-14b15r14p12-14-12-14b15r14p12--------| B|-5-7-5~-------12-14-12-12-14-----------------------------------15b17~-| G|--------11s13---------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------| Chorus (no guitar) ====== These chains are all your own These chains are comfortable These chains was never locked Born free but scared e|-----17-17-15~-| (Gtr. 2) B|---------------| G|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-| D|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-| (Gtr. 3 -
