OASIS - "carnation" Tablature
Official OASIS Tablature & Sheet Music »
Carnation
(Weller)
Am C
If you gave me a fresh carnation
G Bb
I would only crush it's tender petals
Am C
With me you'll have no escape
G Bb
And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle -
Gm Eb6
I trample down all life in my wake
D Bm
I eat it up and take the cake
E Am
I just avert my eyes to the pain
D Am
Of someone's loss helping my gain
If you gave me a dream for my pocket
You'd be plugging in the wrong socket
With me there's no room for the future
With me there's no room with a view at all -
Gm Eb
I am out of season all year 'round
D Bm
Hear machinery roar to my empty sound
E Am
Touch my heart and feel winter
D Cm
Hold my hand and be doomed forever -
Cm/Bb6/Cm/Bb6/Am/F6/Am/Em7/Fmaj7/G6/E
Piano solo: Am/C/G/Bb (x2)
If you gave me a fresh carnation
I would only crush it's tender petals
With me you'll have now escape
And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle.
Gm Eb6
And if you're wondering by now who I am
D Bm
Look no further than the mirror -
E Am
Because I am the Greed and Fear
D Cm
And every ounce of Hate in you.
Outro: D/Bm/E/Am/D
Cm/D/Bm/E/Am/D
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 OASIS 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.
