[Em]Out on the [D]tar plains, [G]the glides are [B7/D#]moving, [Em]all [D]looking for the [G]new place to [B7/D#]drive
[Em]You sit be[D]side me, [G]so newly [B7/D#]charming, [Em]sweatening [D]dew drops glisten, [G]freshing your si[B7/D#]de
{start_of_chorus}
And the [G]sun slips down bedding [B7]heavy behind, the [Em]front of your dress all [B]shadowy lined
And the [G]droning engine [B]throbs in time with [Em]your beating hea[B]rt
{end_of_chorus}
[G] [B7]
[Em]Way down the [D]lane away, [G]living for a[B7/D#]nother day, [Em]the aphids [D]climb up in the [G]drifting ha[B7/D#]ze
[Em]Swim seagull [D]in the sky to[G]wards that hollow [B7/D#]western isle, [Em]my envied [D]lady holds you [G]fast in her ga[B7/D#]ze

[C]Sing[C/Bb], blue [B]silver [Em] [D] [G] [B/D#]
[Em]And watching [D]lovers part, [G]I feel you [B7/D#]smiling, [Em]what glass [D]splinters lie so [G]deep in your mi[B7/D#]nd?
[Em]To tear out [D]from your eyes with a [G]word to stiffen [B7/D#]brooding lies
[Em]But I'll only [D]watch you leave me [G]further behi[B7/D#]nd

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 DURAN DURAN 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.
