D5 D7sus Em7 Am(4) - G/D - D5
[intro]
D5 D7sus Em7 Am4 - G/D - D5
Laughing in a crown of jewels, numbness from a scepter's wound
D5 D7sus Em7 Am4-G/D - D5
Toss and turn, I spin and learn, catch yourself before you burn
D5 D7sus Em7 Am4-G/D-D5
Jokers dance before the king, jangling beads, a silver ring
D5 D7sus Em7 Am4-G/D-D5
Close your eyes and bare the sound, jumping up, falling down
A C(9) D Am(4) - G/D - D5
Falling, falling, falling, falling down
A C(9) D Am(4) - G/D - D5
Look yourself in the eye before you drown
Royal rebels discover you; trust? you turn, there is no truth
And circle, circle, why are you scared, why a smile instead of tears?
I'm gulping smoke, I fade away, figures floating down to lay
Meet the joker and the thief, the king and queen, but no relief
Falling, falling, falling, falling down
Look yourself in the eye before you drown
Falling, falling, falling, Falling down
(The king is in his counting house, counting out his money)
Look yourself in the eye before you drown
(The queen is in her parlor eating bread and honey)
[Guitar solo: same chords as verse]
I cross myself before I die, and the leaping man, he asked me why
Well your rhythm is off, I reply, Now you must dance the dance that you imply
D5 D7sus Em7 D5
Your actions will follow you full circle round, your actions will follow...
D5 D7sus Em7 D5
Your actions will follow you full circle round, your actions will follow...
D5 D7sus Em7 D5
Your actions will follow you full circle round, your actions will follow...
D5 D7sus Em7
Your actions will follow you full circle round, the higher the leap
D5 Am(4)-G/D-D5 Am(4)-G/D-D5 Am(4)-G/D-D5
I said, the harder the ground
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 INDIGO GIRLS 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.
