Volcano 
Damien Rice

This is such a great song for a duet. The lead part is 
simple strumming- all basic chords (+ hammer ons).  The
harmony in the song is actually on a cello, but pretty 
much any instrument can still work- particularly bass
or piano in my opinion.  Listen to the song for the 
rhythm of the second part (currently available at 
yahoo music for free listening)

Harmony (written for bass) plays pretty much 
continuously except during bridge.  Ad-libbing 
really can spice up the song too.

Am     Am+       F            F+  G
  Don't hold yourself like that
Am      Am+       F           F+  G
  You'll hurt your knees
Am     Am+       F            F+  G 
  I kissed your mouth and back
Am          Am+       F       F+  G 
  But that's all I need
G                  F
  Don't build your world around 
G               F
  volcanoes melt you down


<Chorus>
Am              Am+          F     F+  G
  What I am to you is not real
Am              Am+          F     F+  G
  What I am to you you do not need
Am              Am+                  F     F+
  What I am to you is not what you mean to me
              Am         Am+          F  
  You give me miles and miles of mountains
          F+            Am
  And I'll ask for the sea


Am     Am+        F           F+  G
  Don't throw yourself like that
Am      Am+       F           F+  G
  In front of me
Am     Am+       F            F+  G 
  I kissed your mouth your back
Am          Am+       F       F+  G 
  Is that all you need?
G               F 
  Don't drag my love around 
G               F
  volcanoes melt me down


<Chorus>
Am              Am+          F     F+  G
  What I am to you is not real
Am              Am+          F     F+  G
  What I am to you you do not need
Am              Am+                  F     F+
  What I am to you is not what you mean to me
              Am         Am+          F  
  You give me miles and miles of mountains
          F+      
  And I'll ask for...

  
<Bridge>
C            
  what I give to you
E  
  Is just what i'm going through
Am
  This is nothing new
F                          
  No no just another phase of finding 
C
  what I really need
E
  Is what makes me bleed
Am
  And like a new disease 
F
  she's still too young to treat


<Intermixed chourus> -play chorus parts while trading singing

 She's still too young
                Volcanoes melt me down
 What I am to you
                Volcanoes melt me down
				    She's still too young
 Is not real
               Volcanoes melt me down
				    She's still too young
 What I am to you
               Volcanoes melt me down
				    She's still too young
 You do not need    
               Volcanoes melt me down
				    She's still too young
 She still too young
	       I kissed your mouth you back
				          still too young
  
 
 You do not need me
