Music by James Dean Bradfield and Sean Moore Lyrics by Richey James and Nicky Wire Tabbed by Matt Nicholls
Verse 1 ------- During this the classical guitars plays along with the singer with various little bits added on. It goes something likes this (repeat x4):
E-----------------------------5-5--3-1-- B-3--1-3-6-5--5-6-5-3-1----------------- G-----------------------3-2-3----------- D--------------------------------------- A--------------------------------------- E--------------------------------------- (Add a few steps inbetween notes and experiment with a few hammer-ons and pull-offs)
Childbirth tears upon her muscles Very first, second a screaming icon Babies in time barely even recognise Words that once stroked now bruising tired lips
Bridge (Let chords ring) -----------------------
My idea of love comes from
A childhood glimpse of pornography
Though there is no true love
Just a finely tuned jealousy
Chorus ------
Life becoming a landslide
Ice freezing, nature dead
Life becoming a landslide
I don't wanna be a man
Verse 2 -------- Here the guitars and bass come in heavy, playing something likes this
E---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-8-7---7-8-5-3---1-0-1-12-8
Everyday more numb to agony This the howl, this the sigh of the lonely One day I realise oil on canvas Can never paint a petal oh so delicate
Bridge ------ Let chords ring as before
Chorus ------ Repeat the chorus twice
Instrumental Verse ------------------
Second Chorus ------------- Same chords as first chorus
Life becoming a landslide A mile empty inside Life becoming a landslide Desire on its knees
