Gate


These chords are pretty much accurate for the whole song but yea, just like play with the song it should work out perfect! Intro {x4} G x8 (play along with the song to find the beat) G (hold until the end of 'quicksand') Over land, I traveled time and space and quicksand G And for sixty days I knew no other road G And through the maelstrom, which turned in time with the kick drum I was swallowed and twisted and spit out on a coast G And in this place there stands a gate that leads to the heart of the city And I've spent seven years and a sea of fears in this broken mirror of a city C G Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city Sweet sunlight, I can see it in my mind's eye And I remember feeling alright And I saw black clouds and Turin shrouds and it smelled of a faded empire G It's all concrete and steel, we're asleep at the wheel, and the mayor's just a gun for hire C G Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city C G Listen to the sound there's a time bomb ticking in the city G I've heard the song the morning sings Outside the gate is everything C Let in the light! Let in the light! G Streetwalker said to me she has no need for history C She has the key she has the key G Sweet sunlight, I can see it in my mind's eye C Let in the light! Let in the light! G (slow down tempo) Waking up from a dream where I was the stone and you were the stream Chemical City isn't all that you need but it's all that you're getting and they've hidden the key C G Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city C G Listen to the sound there's a time bomb ticking in the city I said this place is an unnatural disaster And I'm a visitor here so I asked her: C G Where are the trees, where are the trees? And she said free yourself from history C G That is the key! That is the key! Sweet sunlight, I can see it in my mind's eye C G (speed up - ROCK and ROLL) I see the light! I see the light! G(2 bars of 4:4 strumming) C x8 (same rythem as G intro) G (steady palm muted strumming) The gate is gone now, you better run {sing this x4} G (louder) Can you feel it? There's a heartbeat missing in the city When all the fat cats are hissing at your pity Yeah the gate is gone so you better run G C You better run, run run run... G C You better run, run run run... G C! You better ru-------n! Outro G (2 bars) Gchord Cchord E3 E3 B3 B5 Gsus4 G5 D5 D5 A5 A3 E3 Ex or optional G bass There ya go!! Great song, great album, GREAT BAND!!!
