Biography:
The Chameleons (called The Chameleons UK on some American releases) were a post-punk band that formed in Middleton, Greater Manchester, England, UK in 1981. They consisted of singer and bassist Mark Burgess, guitarist Reg Smithies, guitarist Dave Fielding, and drummer John Lever.
The band initially released three studio albums in the 1980s, to solid critical acclaim. After their third release, Strange Times, in 1987 they abruptly disbanded following the sudden death of band manager Tony Fletcher.

this is the Accoustic version in the album "This Never Ending Now"
this is one of my favorite songs, here it is:
Verse 1
G Bm Em
I used to be so sure
G Bm Em
I used to be so certain
D F D F
Now it's gone
G Bm Em
Always wanting more
G Bm Em
Bleating out excuses
D F D F
I have none
Chorus:
A F#m
Cast reflections in the water
E
Now that the deed is done
D
We'll wait
F#m E
And watch the ripples fade away
A
Hearts are breaking
F#m
Someone's daughter
E
Joins with someone's son
D F#m
It goes on and on again
On and on again
E
Watch the ripples run
Verse 2:
Play the same chords through the rest
of the song:
I used to be so sure
I used to be so certain
How could I be so wrong
Always needing more
At last the chains are breaking
Watch me now
Watch me run
Over fields and past the houses
Like a bullet from the gun
Watch the figure fade away
Hearts are breaking
Someone's daughter
Joins with someone's son
It goes on and on again
On and on again
Watch the ripples run
Over fields and past the houses
Watch the rabbit run
(For the End solo im going to put
the Tabs down too)
End Solo:
G Em D F D F D x2
end with A G
( this lead sounds a little diffrent than how they play
because they play it on twelve string)
h=Hammer on
p=Pull off
/= slide up
=slide down
( sorry if my rythym on this is really off )
