Funerary rocker for Nikki Sudden. There is a picture of me and Captain Sensible at the memorial they held for Nikki in Engald hanging up in our studio. Sensible has that "I've taken this picture before" look on his face. Stay tuned for the killer Fowler solo at the end.
lyrics
UNKNOWN CAUSES
D – B (5th string)-
E-G-A (6th string bounce - then 5th stirng open)
take him home
make him beautiful
put that cigarette
out
at long last
D – B (hit B on 5th string)-
E-G-A (walk:6th string bounce - then 5th string open)
make him look like ron
like keith, like rod
-- like nikki
for one last time
G – F - Em
and we’ll play a little funeral song
G- F-Em
as they lower
another
A7
of the foot soldiers down
D- G –F Em
another one gone
from unknown causes
maybe a good sleep is
all we need
A G
all we need
D – B
E-G-A (walk)
anybody anywhere
a-jonesing for anything
is a cousin of mine
D – B
E-G-A (walk)
this time we had the same records
(he made me hear em all again)
so it hurts a little more
when the clock finally chimes
G – F - Em
and so we’ll raise our glass again
G – F - Em
as they lower another
A7
of the foot soldiers down
A
don’t you hear the wagons
Bm7
circling...
A E/G
the vultures are limping their way uptown
A Bm7
the cannon fire is just my heart pumping
D G A
this camp just keeps getting more remote
A /add D on string 2
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
D- G –F Em
another one gone
from unknown causes
maybe a good sleep is
all we need
A G
all we need (chords and vocal, 3x)
Em –A (3x two measures a piece -- leads over this)
G – F Em
and we’ll play a little funeral song
G- F
as they lower
another
Em A
of the foot soldiers down
