Love In The Time Of Ecstasy


Simply listen to the song to get your timings right. There are a few offbeats and dropped lyrics but the pattern is very similar throughout. I've tabbed everything required for you to get it down pat after a couple tries. Really pump out some melancholy when you play it as well. Enjoy. Capo 5th D There's a crack G G/C In the handle of a coronation cup G/C That I once brought back D G From the study trip in Athens G/C Where we plaited my hair G/C And I put eyeliner on D G Until they stopped in the street G/C And pointed at me G/C and i felt ugly pride D G G/C For the first time in my life D There's a warm, warm rain G Upon the hotel balcony G/C Where we looked out upon a darkening sea and the D G G/C light And the light upon the mediterranean G/C Burned like candles in the memory D G G/C Of all the things that we mislaid on the way here D G G/C Why did Nirvana ever bother to play here? G/C Hey there, I don't want to stay here G D I decree there is a higher plane D G/C G Some place of little consequence G D That I might see your face again D G/C G before the living and the dead G/C D G Are reunited And this town, this town is killing me now I can't believe I waited so long From the shopping trolleys on the riverbed To the sound of the bass binss booming Can I see your face in this acid light Of another suburban evening As I roll my eyes up to these dirty skies Till I count the days till I am leavin I decree there is a higher plane Some place of little consequence That I might see your face again before the living and the dead Are reunited What is love? What is love in the time of ecstasy And bare-knuckle fighting? Lord, won't you deliver me from the wave machine And the transparent bikini Like isn't there some skeleton on me I should find that I might vanquish thee, Wont you listen to me, your unfaithful servant of filthy, fucking language I decree there is a higher plane Some place of little consequence That I might see your face again before the living and the dead Are reunited What is love What is love in the time of ecstasy And bareknuckle fighting Don't tell me that he died for that Councillor forgive me for I Knew not what I vandalised Don't tell me that he died for that Take me down to the Paradise club Where the girls are drunk and oversized DOn't tell me that he died for that There's a crack in the handle of a coronation cup That I once brought back I decree there is a higher plane Some place of little consequence
