Morrison Van - Melancholia Chords

"Melancholia" by Van Morrison
Taken from the album "Days Like This"
Tabbed by Justin Kunz: jkunz@smcvt.edu

Definitely one of Van's best new albums.  As one of my friend's Dad
said, "You've got to be convinced this is a happy album after listening
to the first 10 seconds of it."

Throw a capo on the first fret and play these chords, with respect to
the capo:
A, F#m, A, E

Or, since there isn't really a defined guitar sound on the album, play
bar chords to give it a light feel:

Bb, Gm, Bb, F

CHORDS USED:
(capo)
A-	x02220
F#m-	244222
E-	022100
(bar chords)
Bb-	x13331
Gm-	355333
F-	133211

Here are the lyrics:

In the afternoon, baby in my room
When the lights are dim way beyond the hill
In the afternoon, baby in my room
When I'm really down, get me off the ground
Melancholia
Melancholia
Melancholia

In the morning time, when I go outside
In the morning time it's like that all the while
In the afternoon when I'm in my room
Every single day, it won't go away
Melancholia
Melancholia
Melancholia

And it's in my heart, when we're apart
And it stops and starts, and it's in my heart
Every single day it's always in my way
When I'm making hay, all I've got to say
Melancholia
Melancholia
Melancholia

Well it's in my blood and it's in my veins
Here it comes again, when I'm in the rain
In the wind and rain, well the sun don't shine
Well it's always mine, all of the time
Melancholia
Melancholia
Melancholia

And it's in my life and it's all the time
It doesn't go away when the church bells chime
In the evening time, when I drink my wine
In the evening time, when it's on my mind
Melancholia
Melancholia
Melancholia

It's only melancholia
Oh melancholia, Oh melancholia, Oh melancholia, Oh melancholia,
Melancholia, melancholia
They call it, call it melancholia, call it melancholia, call it
melancholia, 
						call it melancholia, 
Call it melancholia, melancholia, melancholia, melancholia
