Subject: Chords for "Nails In My Feet"
NAILS IN MY FEET
(Neil Finn)
As performed by Crowded House on the album "Together Alone"
*Capo 3rd fret
Am
My life is a house
Bdim
you crawl through the window
E Am
slip across the floor and into the reception room
Am Bdim
you enter the place of endless persuasion
E
like a knock on the door
Am
when there's ten or more things to do
C F Em G
Who is that calling?
C F Em G
you my companion
C F E
run to the water on a burning beach
Am E
and it brings me relief
Pass through the walls
to find my intentions
circle 'round in a strange, hypnotic state
I look into space
there is no connection
a million points of light
and a conversation I can't face
Cast me off one day
to lose my inhibition
sit like a lap dog on a matron's knee
Am E Am E
wear the nails on your feet
<The chord progression over the solo is: Am E>
I woke up the house
stumbled in sideways
the lights went on and everybody screamed "Surprise!"
the savage review
it left me gasping
but it warms my heart to see that you can do it too
Total surrender
your touch is so tender
C F G
your skin is like water on a burning beach
C F Em G
and it brings me relief
C F G
Like a night in your mind
it brings me relief
in the back door
under the stars
and the scenery is my floor
in the back room
under the stars
and the scenery is my floor
Bdim x2343x
(I actually prefer Bm7b5 because it's easier to finger: x2323x)
The C F Em G progression on the chorus can be substituted with
C C/F C/E G for an interesting-sounding variation.
C/F 132010 (just an open C with F as the root)
C/E 032010 (likewise, you include the low E)

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.
