This is a very catchy tune from the excellent New Magnetic Wonder album. This song has
simple
chord progression that repeats throughout the song. Getting the rhythm can be a bit tricky,
especially if you are trying to sing along. Each of the chords listed below is actually
up of a
3-note riff, with the downbeat on the second note. I play them like:
E

VERSE
E A
40 times you may question your lie
Dbm A
fortified with a hunting knife
E A
before you find out if you survive
Dbm A
questioning marks have turned into stars
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_apples_in_stereo/skyway_crd.html ]
for the record you remember the view
for a second time you get a two
40 days in the neon haze
festering dreams are dressed in vagaries
CHORUS
E A Dbm A
(do do do do do do) you follow the skyway you follow your
E A Dbm A
right of way you follow the streets and the cars and the shadows and the stars
(alright) 40 lessons you may hear from the sun, now
you never listen to a single one
falling leaves whisper like thieves
now that you mind you live on stolen time
you follow the skyway, you follow your right of way
you follow the streets and the cars and the shadows and the stars
fist loaded with a furious disdain
your velocity will be your shame
fast motion like a curious flame
the best I can do is to turn my back on you
you follow the skyway
you follow your right of way
you follow the streets and the cars and the shadows and the stars
follow the skyway, you follow your right of way
you follow the streets and the cars and the shadows and the stars
streets and the cars and the shadows and the stars
Thanks, hope you enjoy!
