Mercury Rev - "The Dark Is Rising"
From the album "All Is Dream"
I noticed that there were no tabs for the mighty Rev on this
site, so i have decided to rectify this sorry situation. I
really don't care if you like this tab or not, so please
don't bother to e-mail me about it or rate the tab. Thank you.
Intro - C / Gm / Bb / F x2
Verse 1:
C G
I dreamed of you on my farm
F
I dreamed of you in my arms
C
But dreams are always wrong
G
I never dreamed I'd hurt you
F
I never dreamed I'd lose you
C
In my dreams I'm always strong
F C
But now the creek is rising
F C
And all my bridges burned
(C) G
I always dreamed of big crowds
F
Plumes of smoke and high clouds
C
But dreams don't last for long
Repeat intro chords twice
Verse 2 (same chords as first verse)
I have my suspicions
When the stars are in position
All will be revealed
But I know that until then
Unless the stars surrender
All will be concealed
And now the snow is falling
And all my fences torn
I know you need someone
And I can hear someone
Somewhere in this song
Repeat intro chords twice
Verse 3 (same chords as first verse except where noted)
I dreamed that I was walking
And the two of us were talking
Of all life's mystery
The words that flow between friends
Winding streams without end
I wanted you to see
F C
But it can seem surprising
F C
When you find yourself alone
F C
And now the dark is rising
F C
And a brand new moon is born
I always dreamed I'd love you
I never dreamed I'd lose you
In my dreams I'm always strong.
Finish on C
The intro bit sounds best (to me) if you play the following chords;
C at the eighth fret (E shape)
Gm at the tenth fret (Am shape)
Bb at the sixth fret (E shape)
F at the eighth fret (A shape)
For the rest of the song use these chord shapes:
C - X32010
G - 320003
F - 133211
And that's your lot.
