Way Away
by Toad the Wet Sprocket
off the "Bread and Circus" CD
contributed by Ryan Houlette
(rhoulett@depauw.edu)
another in the "This is how I play it, guys" series
you should really hear the original song to get the rhythms right
[intro]
D Em G (3x)
(When you play the D, you should hammer on the A on the 3rd string)
[verse1]
D Em G
Line of people to pass you by,
D Em G
Posing sympathy with its whitewash eyes
D Em G
Ladies feigning their mourning cries
D Em G
And the men shaking hands
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/toad_the_wet_sprocket/way_away_crd.html ]
[chorus]
A G
Weigh Away
A G
Way away
G C
All the pictures in your mind
G
As you're passed the thousandth time
Em G
Thousandth photograph
[verse2]
D Em G
Listen to sympathetic lies
D Em G
As their reasons change under mourning guise
D Em G
With the gentlemen feigning sorrowed sighs
D Em G
And drinking champagne
[chorus]
A G
Weigh Away
A G
Way away
G C
As all the people pass and pose
G
You hold back the tears and hold
Em G
On to memories
[verse3]
D Em G
Small talk hangs like a dirty cloud
D Em G
Saying nothing real but deafening loud
D Em G
An urge to run away from the crowd
D Em G
And mourn all alone
D Em G
Make a promise to no-one
D Em G
Wondering if you'd been worthwhile
D Em G
Turn away from the chatter
D Em G
And the hungry smiles
