Afterglow


Artist: INXS Song Name: Afterglow Album: Switch (2005) Tabbed in march 2006 Standard tuning This is a great song to listen to -- even more fun to play on the guitar. I learned most of the chords from the INXS fanclub Podcast where JD sings it accompanied with only an acoustic guitar, so I'm sure this is 99% correct (it's much harder to tab from the album version where the guitar is hidden behind the strings). It's in the key of F# I believe. But whenever I see so many sharpened chords, I suspect a capo was used. If all the sharpened barre chords make your hand sore, place a capo on the first fret, and lower each chord a semi-tone, so C# become the easy-to-form C chord, F# becomes F, A# becomes A, etc. That way you still can play along with the album in key without the trouble of the barre chords. C# F# Here I am, lost in the light of the moon C# that comes through my window F# Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divides C# B F# the thorns from the roses It's you and the roses Bb Ab Bb F# C# B F# C# Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow B F# C# Heal me from all this sorrow As I let you go B F# I will find my way when I see your eyes C# Ab Bb F# C# Now I'm living in your afterglow C# F# Here I am, lost in the ashes of time, C# but who owns tomorrow? C# F# In between the longing to hold you again C# B F# I'm caught in your shadow, I'm losing control Bb Ab Bb F# My mind drifts away, we only have today C# B F# C# Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow C# B F# Heal me from all this sorrow C# B As I let you go I will find my way F# B F# I will sacrifice 'til that blinding day when I see your eyes C# Ab Bb F# Now I'm LIVINNNNG!!!!! in your afterglowwwwwwwwww!!! Eb Bb Eb Bb Ab When the veils are gone as I let you go, as I let you go [yodelling chords: C# Ab F# C# repeated twice] C# B F# C# Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow B F# C# Heal me from all this sorrow As I let you go B F# I will find my way, I will sacrifice C# Ab Bb F# Now I'm living in your afterglow C# F# Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divides C# the thorns from the roses B F# It's you who is closest ---------------- Hope You enjoyed it as much as I did :) Play it to your girlfriend.. if you have one, and just wait for results :)
