The powerchords are based on the bass line. But you can also play the Dm C G F chords instead.
A wah wah pedal can help to reproduce the oppressive atmosphere.
[Intro]
(riff)
(drums)
(bass)
D5 E5 C5 D5 G5 A5 F5 C5 (x4)
[Verse 1]
Dm C G F
Movement, no movement, just a falling bird
Dm C G F
Cold as it hits the bleeding ground
Dm C G F
He lived and died, catch sight, cover me with earth
Dm C G F
Draped in black, static white sound
[Chorus]
Bb C
A day without substance, a change of thought
Bb C
An atmosphere that rots with time
Bb C
Colours that flicker in water
Dm C G F
A short term effect
[Instrumental]
D5 E5 C5 D5 G5 A5 F5 C5 (x4)
[Verse 2]
Dm C G F
Scream, as she tries to push him over, helpless and sick
Dm C G F
With teeth of madness, jump jump dance and sing,
Dm C G F
Sideways across the desert, a charcoal face bites my hand
Dm C G F
Time is sweet, derange and disengage everything
[Chorus]
Bb C
A day without substance, a change of thought
Bb C
The atmosphere that rots with time
Bb C
Colours that flicker in water
Dm C G F
A short term effect
[Outro]
Dm C G F
A short term effect
Dm C G F
An echo, and a stranger's hand, a short term effect
Dm C G F
An echo, and a stranger's hand, a short term effect
