Dead Can Dance
Don't' Fade Away
One of my favorites. I am pretty sure this is about 100 percent correct. I have worked
out the actual tabs but since it is too difficult to play tabs and sing, I have laid out
the chords here. Please note the chord tabs as I may have the chord names wrong.

My brown-eyed girl

I've heard that innocence

Has led us all astray

But don't let them make you and break you

The world is filled with their broken empty dreams

Silence is their only virtue
G Bm Em
Locked away inside their silent screams

But for now...

Filled with the glow of the fiery stars

And with the dawn our sun will rise

Bringing a symphony of birthright
