Blink

from the album "Whirligig" Transcribed by Daniel Schaumann Before our eyes there are a million things we haven't tried They'll get here in the morning They're just around the corner It can be hard when we're all blanketed by the cold and dark We're waiting for the sun We've got a smile to warm us PRE-CHORUS: Cause lately, everything's so heavy I just want the trick that makes me laugh just for fun Because we're not too old and we're not too young We've got rainbows in our eyes Barefoot down the street we dodge the broken glass Just to get a laugh We fly by in a blink of their eye So I made myself a stern face with a cast of clay I didn't have the knack You made a joke and it just cracked And I watched as all the serious bits flew across the floor Now I'm a different fella I paint the pieces pretty colours PRE-CHORUS: Lately everyone's so honest I just want the white lie as it shines in the coal Because we're not too young and we're not too old CHORUS: We've got rainbows in our eyes Barefoot down the street we dodge the broken glass Just to get a laugh We fly by in a blink of their eye We've got sunshine in our pockets Throw it around the room to cheer the cold dark night With the speed of light We fly by in a blink of their eye And I sang with my head in the dark clouds But now I sing about the small good things Darling here comes Spring I'll race you there SOLO: (Two guitars arranged for one) 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E|----------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------12------10------9-------------------| G|9----9--9----9--9---12------12------10------8-------9---9h10p9--| D|10---10-10---10-10--12------------------------------10-10-10-10-| A|----------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E|----------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------13------12------------------9-------| G|-------------9--9---12------12------12------9---9h10p9--8-9-----| D|-------------10-10--12----------------------10-10-10-10---10----| A|----------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E|----------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------| G|5-----------10--10----------5---5-----------12--12----------5---| D|7-----------10--10----------7---7-----------12--12----------7---| A|----------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E|----------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------| G|5-----------9---9-------10------7---5---4---------------5-------| D|7-----------10--10------10------9---7---5-------7-------7-------| A|------------------------------------------------8---------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------| 1 2 3 4 E|--------------------------------| B|--------------------------------| G|--------4---------------2-------| D|5-------5-------3-------3-------| A|7---------------5---------------| E|--------------------------------| REPEAT BOTH CHORUSES (End on chord) 26/06/2002
