Sarah Mclachlan
   "Building A Mystery"
   Of the Surfacing album
   Tabbed By: Roberta Zack
   *Sarah uses a capo on the first riff for this song, but these are the
   main chords*
   *Also Sarah adds little parts in between verse and chorus and switches
   some of it around, so I tried to make the song with all those little
   parts it sounds really neat that way* = )


   Intro: Finger pick these chords in the main intro, then the second time
   you strum, then when you go into the verse you can finger pick or
   strum.
   Asus4-A-Asus4 Main intro: Bm G D6 A-Asus4-A 
   Bm G D A-Asus4-A

   Verse:
   Bm G 
   You come out at night
   D6 A-Asus4-A
   that's when the energy comes
   Bm G
   and the dark side's light
   D6 A-Asus4-A
   and the vampires roam
   Bm G
   you strut your rasta wear
   D6 A-Asus4-A
   and your suicide poem
   Bm G
   and a cross from a faith
   D6 A-Asus4-A
   that died before Jesus came
   E G Asus4-A-Asus4

 A
   'Cause you're working
   building a mystery
   holding on and holding it in
   yeah you're working
   building a mystery
   and choosing so carefully

   Repeat first Verse.

   You woke up screaming aloud
   a prayer from your secret god
   you feed off our fears
   and hold back your tears


   Give us a tantrum
   and a know it all grin
   just when we need one
   when the evening's thin


   Oh you're a beautiful
   a beautiful fucked up man
   you're setting up your
   razor wire shrine.

   ~If you have any questions email me at wackygurl_32@hotmail.com, this
   is my first time tabbing out, and this song was kinda hard with all
   those little parts etc. I had to listen to it 6 times before I could
   get it right.~
   ~ I got an email from one of my friends saying they couldn't open the
   tab for this song so i thought I would send it again.~
