Skyway


This is a very catchy tune from the excellent New Magnetic Wonder album. This song has simple chord progression that repeats throughout the song. Getting the rhythm can be a bit tricky, especially if you are trying to sing along. Each of the chords listed below is actually up of a 3-note riff, with the downbeat on the second note. I play them like: E e---------| B---------| G---------| D--0-2-2--| A--0-2-2--| E--0-0-0--| A e---------| B---------| G--0-2-2--| D--0-2-2--| A--0-0-0--| E---------| C#m e---------| B--5-5-5--| G--6-6-6--| D--6-6-6--| A---------| E---------| VERSE E A 40 times you may question your lie C#m A fortified with a hunting knife E A before you find out if you survive C#m A questioning marks have turned into stars for the record you remember the view for a second time you get a two 40 days in the neon haze festering dreams are dressed in vagaries CHORUS E A C#m A (do do do do do do) you follow the skyway you follow your E A C#m A right of way you follow the streets and the cars and the shadows and the stars (alright) 40 lessons you may hear from the sun, now you never listen to a single one falling leaves whisper like thieves now that you mind you live on stolen time you follow the skyway, you follow your right of way you follow the streets and the cars and the shadows and the stars fist loaded with a furious disdain your velocity will be your shame fast motion like a curious flame the best I can do is to turn my back on you you follow the skyway you follow your right of way you follow the streets and the cars and the shadows and the stars follow the skyway, you follow your right of way you follow the streets and the cars and the shadows and the stars streets and the cars and the shadows and the stars Thanks, hope you enjoy!
