Alien


This is a version of "Alien" by the band 'Cast'. Written by John Power, track 7 on the album "Magic Hour" (1999) This is merely an interpretation. It sounds almost perfect but I don't think it is 100%, either way it does me fine. In the verse it's important to move the 3rd string up to the 4th fret when strumming the If you listen to the song you should be able to gather what I mean. Capo on 4th fret, all chords are relative to the capo. Chords: E - 022100 G - 320000 Asus - 002200 F#m - 244222 A - 577655 B - either 224442 or 799877 C#m - 446654 Ab - 466544 Verse 1 E G Asus4 Take the knowledge away, suck the breath from the clay E G Asus4 Break the bone to the ground, leave the soul where it's found Asus (strike the chord twice then back to E) Lead the soul where it's bound Verse 2 E G Asus4 Through the passage of time, one day soon to arrive E G Asus4 Silver bird in the sky, leave this world all behind Asus4 E Leave this world all behind Chorus F#m A E B Taking over the world F#m A E B They're taking over our world x2 (Play the verse chords once, then the singing begins again) Verse 3 E G Asus4 Looking out from inside, when you see what you find E G Asus4 Out of sight out of mind, meet the seed of mankind Asus4 Meet the seed of mankind CHORUS Break C#m Ab A E Higher and Higher, spiralling through the sky C#m Ab A E Vertially rising through a white wall of space C#m Ab A E It's Further and further, pushing on through the clouds C#m Ab A E Perfect response to falling from grace A E No need to look for you are found, A E Need to speak I hear the sound A On the street E Oooooooooooooh Solo (Chords are the same as for the break (above)) Chorus x2 E G Asus4 Now you're learning to E fly And it ends on E
