INTRO: A4* A Dm
Dm C Dm C
oh hell trouble is coming
Dm C F G
out here in panic and alarm
Dm C Dm C
black shapes gather in the distance
Dm C F G
looks like it won't take long
Dm C Dm G
the first drops land on the window
Dm C F G
the first sign that there's something wrong
Dm C Dm C A4 A
light rain and a head full of thunder
Dm C Dm C
which way, which way
Dm C F G Dm C Dm C
two days till I get to you
Dm C F G
I'll be late if I ever get through
Dm C Dm C
where I go there'll be no kind welcome
Dm C
coming down upon me
F C
time will keep me warm
Dm Am
feel my face
F C
now the insects swarm
G D
in the lowlands
F C Dm Am
fear will take the place of desire
F C G D
and we will fan the flames from on high
F Dm C Dm C
try for heavens sake
the sky fell underneath a blanket
the sun sank as the miles went by
sit back with your head on the pillow
when you remember it makes you cry
ghost cars on the freeway
like friends that you thought you had
one by one they are disappearing
time will keep me warm
feel my face
now the insects swarm
in the lowlands
fear will take the place of desire
F C G
and we will fan the flames from on high

(Transcription by Marck Bailey)
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CROWDED HOUSE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
