Peter Gabriel - Olive Tree Chords

[Intro]
G    Dm
 
 
[Verse 1]
Dm     F     C      Dm
In the misty silver night
   F    C           Dm
My eyes fall to the ground
      F       C     Dm G
I can feel it come alive
Dm                   F
In the seeds pushing out through the soil
Dm                  F       G              Dm
New life weaves its way out through the coil
                F         C        Dm G
Nothing’s gonna hold this movement down
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F      C
I was apart from it
   F           C
My head in the sky
     G          C
With no ears to listen
   G                C
No light reached my eye
F               C
There grows the fungi
      F           C
Still tied to its past
       G              C
To the melting of the solid world
    G                C
The change is coming fast
 
 
[Chorus]
C
And it’s, oh-oh!
G            Am                 C
I’ve got the water falling on me
G        Am          G C
It's all waking me up
G            Am                        C
I’ve got the sunlight bright on my back
G       Am        G    C
Warming up all my bones
G            Am          G           C
I’ve got thе cool breeze right on my skin
G        F                 C
Bringing every cеll to life
Am           G
Making all connections live
     F             C
From one point to another
          G
And we’re all here, just the same
F                C
Try to make some sense of it
Am              G
Where I’m going now
F             C
How it fits together
       G
In the bigger shape of things
 
 
[Interlude]
Dm  F  Dm  F  Dm  F
Dm
 
 
[Verse 2]
      F              Dm
And I slide into the waves
F       G      Dm
Leaving land behind
      F      C     Dm           F
It's another world I’m entering now
Dm                        F           C
There’s the shark pushing through the swaying weeds
Dm           F             G
Predator and prey sort out their needs
Dm              F         C       Dm   G
Nothing’s gonna hold this pattern down
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F      C
I was apart from it
     F            C
In a world of our own
   G              C
We lost all connection
       G                     C
To the place from which we’d grown
    F            C
But here in this helmet
      F          C
I can read other minds
G            C
Scan all the thinking
        G           C
All the juice I can find
 
 
[Chorus]
C
And it’s, oh-oh!
G            Am                 C
I’ve got the water falling on me
G        Am          G C
It's all waking me up
G            Am                        C
I’ve got the sunlight bright on my back
G       Am        G    C
Warming up all my bones
G            Am          G           C
I’ve got thе cool breeze right on my skin
G        F                 C
Bringing every cеll to life
Am           G
Making all connections live
     F             C
From one point to another
          G
And we’re all here, just the same
F                C
Try to make some sense of it
Am              G
Where I’m going now
F             C
How it fits together
       G
In the bigger shape of things

[Bridge]
Em C  D        G  C
Water falls on me
     Em D   C      G     C
It's waking up the world
Em D           G  C
Water falls on us
                 Em   G C
Falling from the head
             G        C
Falling from the head
             D
Falling from the head

Oh-oh!

Oh-oh!

I’ve got the water falling on me
G            Am                        C G Am G C
I’ve got the sunlight bright on my back
G            Am          G           C   G Am G C
I’ve got the cool breeze right on my skin
G            Am    G          C G Am
I’ve got the water falling on me
G     N.C.
Water falling on me
