"Building A Mystery"
Of the Surfacing album
Tabbed By: Roberta Zack
*Sarah uses a capo on the first riff for this song, but these are the
main chords*
*Also Sarah adds little parts in between verse and chorus and switches
some of it around, so I tried to make the song with all those little
parts it sounds really neat that way* = )


Intro: Finger pick these chords in the main intro, then the second time
you strum, then when you go into the verse you can finger pick or
strum.
Asus4-A-Asus4 Main intro: Bm G D6 A-Asus4-A
Bm G D A-Asus4-A

Verse:
Bm G
You come out at night
D6 A-Asus4-A
that's when the energy comes
Bm G
and the dark side's light
D6 A-Asus4-A
and the vampires roam
Bm G
you strut your rasta wear
D6 A-Asus4-A
and your suicide poem
Bm G
and a cross from a faith
D6 A-Asus4-A
that died before Jesus came
E G Asus4-A-Asus4 E
and G kinda fast, and then
strum the A-Asus4-A fast>
you're building a mystery

Bm G D A-Asus4-A

Bm G
You live in a church
D6 A-Asus4-A
where you sleep with voodoo dolls
Bm G
and you won't give up the search
D6 A-Asus4-A
for the ghosts in the halls
Bm G
you wear sandals in the snow
D6 A-Asus4-A
and a smile that won't wash away
Bm G
can you look out the window
D6 A-Asus4-A
without your shadow getting in the way
E
oh you're so beautiful
G
with an edge and a charm
E
but so careful
G Asus4-A-Asus4
when I'm in your arms


(Chorus)
Bm G D (Or you can use D6 after D it sounds cool either way)
A-Asus4-A
'Cause you're working
building a mystery
holding on and holding it in
yeah you're working
building a mystery
and choosing so carefully

Repeat first Verse.

You woke up screaming aloud
a prayer from your secret god
you feed off our fears
and hold back your tears


Give us a tantrum
and a know it all grin
just when we need one
when the evening's thin


Oh you're a beautiful
a beautiful fucked up man
you're setting up your
razor wire shrine.


Chorus

Bridge:
(Lead). G // A// G// A// Em////
G// A// G// A// G// A// Em/// G// A//.

Then repeat Chorus twice and end "your Building a Mystery.." with D6 A


~If you have any questions email me at [email protected], this
is my first time tabbing out, and this song was kinda hard with all
those little parts etc. I had to listen to it 6 times before I could
get it right.~
~ I got an email from one of my friends saying they couldn't open the
tab for this song so i thought I would send it again.~
