Way Away
off the "Bread and Circus" CD

contributed by Ryan Houlette
another in the "This is how I play it, guys" series
you should really hear the original song to get the rhythms right

[intro]
F Am F   (3x)

(When you play the D, you should hammer on the A on the 3rd string)

[verse1]
F                 Am       F
Line of people to pass you by,
       F                 Am        F
Posing sympathy with its whitewash eyes
F                     Am       F
Ladies feigning their mourning cries
        F                 Am       F
And the men shaking hands

[chorus]
D       F
Weigh   Away
D   F
Way away
F       F
All the pictures in your mind
          F
As you're passed the thousandth time
           Am          F
Thousandth photograph

[verse2]
F               Am    F
Listen to sympathetic lies
         F                    Am       F
As their reasons change under mourning guise
         F                  Am       F
With the gentlemen feigning sorrowed sighs
    F                   Am     F
And drinking champagne

[chorus]
D     F
Weigh Away
D   F
Way away
F          F
As all the people pass and pose
         F
You hold back the tears and hold
      Am         F
On to memories

[verse3]
F                       Am    F
Small talk hangs like a dirty cloud
       F                Am        F
Saying nothing real but deafening loud
   F                Am       F
An urge to run away from the crowd
    F               Am       F
And mourn all alone
F                 Am F
Make a promise to no-one
F                  Am        F
Wondering if you'd been worthwhile
F                  Am  F
Turn away from the chatter
        F             Am  F
And the hungry smiles
