/Kashmir / I think this song has taken much from Kasper Eistrup to write, as he sings
/Lampshade / about his inner hate for a paedophile person he knows, and how much he
/The Good Life / really would like to kill him! Think of emotional courage it takes -
/______________/ I could write a book about it, but here's just the tabs...
- Here are the chords used:

1st VERSE:
D D/B A6sus4 A
You'd be surprised if you looked through the eyes of a no -va
Em Gm Bm/F#* *Riff-1
Not recognizing the molehills on top of the star
D D/C# D/B D/A E
Cheerful and swollen he waves from his seat in a Rover
Gm
That is his car
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/k/kashmir/lampshade_tab_ver_2.html ]
2nd VERSE:
D D/B A6sus4 A* *Riff-2
You wouldn't doubt him to shake the most powerful hands of impor -tance
Em Gm Bm/F#* *Riff-1
Changing the world as we know it by leaving his ink
D D/C# D/B D/A E
To judge from the fence 'round his house he must love all his children
Gm
That's what you think
CHORUS:
D
But there's no time to think
Asus4 A
Have a pill and a shrink
G/B G/A G G/E D
Just don't show us how you sweat
Asus4
Making love to your kids
A G/B G/A G G/E D
Is the last love that you will e -ver get
A G/B G/A G G/E A
You're a vanishing image of what I thought I knew
F#
But it comes to show
Bm/F# A E Gm
That the man I know
3rd VERSE:
D D/B A6sus4 A* *Riff-2
Is kissing that cheek that she had lifted up for her forty first birth -day
Em Gm Bm/F#* *Riff-1
Love is when someone you trust cuts a smile in your face
D D/C# D/B D/A E
Boy had a dog and poor girl had a stroke like an earthquake
Gm
Now dog is a bird
CHORUS:
D
But there's no time to think
Asus4 A
Have a pill and a shrink
G/B G/A G G/E D
Just don't show us how you sweat
Asus4
Making love to your kids
A G/B G/A G G/E D
Is the last love that you will e -ver get
A G/B G/A G G/E A
You're a vanishing image of what I thought I knew
F#
But it goes to show
Bm/F# A E
That the man I know
Bm/F# A E
Has a fa -ding glow
Bm/F# A E Gm
In a white lampshade
(the following four verses are played from a bass, but Ablari has a good
suggestion on how to play it on guitar - look at lampshade-chords version 3)
4th VERSE:
Tell me lampshade the truth did you cover his soul
Did you protect all the horrible
I shall tear you apart so that everyone knows
What he's been carrying around
5th VERSE:
Tell me lampshade what is it you're trying to hide
Under your stinky old corduroy
I shall rip and be shattered by the shrapnel of light
That I've been choking on always
6th VERSE:
There is a dog barking close within the range of my ear
Sounds like he wants to escape the chain
He would probably bite me to death if he could
But the chain lets me spit in his face
7th VERSE:
Like the dog has a chain clinging tight to its neck
This man is tied to his secrecy
I would like to have killed him off in this last verse
But instead I removed his lampshade
SOLO (the bends have to be done quickly for this to sound good)
[played from an electric guitar with a lot of distortion]:
