Verse
Dbm
Brother hold your head this way
Ab
And bustle to the front of the line
e Ab
Coz if they catch your eyes before you get inside,
Dbm
Well you'll never be allowed
Dbm
People got a name for us
e Ab
Coz we escape the strain of the days
F# A
Oh we stretch in the side and bend in the middle,
Dbm
But we never ever break
Dbm Dbm/Ab A e
But if you feel that way now
Dbm Dbm/Ab A F#
Or if you feel so inclined
Dbm F#(2) e A Ab
Skip past the doors of boring forty-somethings and rise
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/y/yves_klein_blue/polka_crd.html ]
Dbm Dbm/Ab A e
Oh and if you wanna lose your frown
Dbm Dbm/Ab A F#
Or your name or even your face
Dbm F#(2) e A Ab Dbm
Lick up a dream that seemingly sings with whistling neon breath
It goes thru the same few chord progressions again then to the chorus
which is instrumental
Chorus
[A D][e ][Dbm e][B
][E(2) ][Ab ][Ab ] repeat.
Then back into the verse
After second chorus
[Db(not minor)][Ab ][Db ][Ab
][Ab ]
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh....
F#m B e A
All your spirits gone, and you are barley alive.
D Ab Dbm
You hand me a smoke, though it’s like you hardly notice
F#m B
And it’s sad I suppose
e A
When I look into your eyes you say
D Ab D Ab
It seems to go this way, no matter what’s at stake,
D Ab Dbm
Oh it seems to go this way with everything I start
guitar solo
the chord progression is the same as in the verse,
soloing in the Dbm scale tends to sound pretty good
Dbm Dbm/Ab A e
Oh so if you feel that way now
Dbm Dbm/Ab A F#
Or if you ever feel so inclined
Dbm F#(2) e A Ab
Skip past the doors of boring forty-somethings and rise
Dbm Dbm/Ab A e
But if you want to lose your frown
Dbm Dbm/Ab A F#
Or your name or even your face
Dbm F#(2) e A Ab Dbm
Lick up a dream that seemingly sings with rushing neon breath
