Biography:
General Elektriks is the brainchild of RV Salters. A French national and keen vintage keyboard player (check the RV Music section for records he’s played on at www.general-elektriks.com), he initiated GE just before moving to San Francisco. Using a computer, his oldschool keys and a SM-57 mike, he started sewing together loops, Funky keyboard licks, ethereal melodies and digital tweaking. GE became a musical journal that followed RV through his move to Seattle, then back down to the Bay Area, Berkeley, where he currently resides.

General Elektriks
Take Back The Instant
Good City For Dreamers
Tabbed By Josh Mulla
Capo 1
Intro
E, G, C, Bb, C#
E G
Take back the instant, when you brushed him off your shirt
C
You tried to drag him to the trash
Bb C#
You tried to trade him in for cash
E G
Take back the instant, when you blew him off your path
C
With a kiss reading 20 below zero
Bb C#
Tomorrow is a no-go, a no-go
E G
Cold cold moment, when the first doubt shot through your head
C
A black ink drip running through your veins
Bb C#
Start ___________________ bringing you sweet pain
E G
Pregnant seconds, dripping through the hour glass
C
When the lure of men who could be kings
Bb C#
Made you lose the man, who was wearing your ring
E
He didn't match your lucious thoughts tonight
G
You couldn't look him in the eye
C Bb C#
Awkward is the embrace, when it's not tight,
(N/C)
Not tight
E
And so the jewel you once both had
G
Is left crumpled, like a collapsed lung
C Bb C#
When all you had to do, was hang out in the sun,
E G C Bb C#
Hang out in the sun
E G
Sir you feel so dignified, your watch is very ornate
C
But you were just born into the right place
Bb C#
Just born into the right race
E G
You're climbing mount everest now, granting wishes from above
C
Favours are yours to give
Bb C#
Lies are yours to live
E G
Take back the instants, that lead you to believe
C
That the earth shakes cos youre not happy
Bb C#
And the sun rises cos youre not sleeping
E
Youve got the loudest parade in town
G
Clowns assasins and crooks
C
You got ladies in see-through gowns
Bb C#
Reading extracts from your books
E
Beggars are trailing at the back
G
Waving from the cardboard float
C
Youre thinking that up close
Bb C#
Statistics can be such a drag
E G
Your cup is full now, blood is the colour of this wine
C
And its dripping from the ceiling
Bb
And its making the chandeliers ring
C#
And the instant the ballroom over flows,
Asus2 E G C Bb C#
Your throats turn into your gallows
This is a great song performed by a fantastic band.
Im sure all of this (with the exception of the A sustained 2) is correct!
Enjoy
