Subject: ANOTHER ONE IN THE DARK by The Wallflowers
Another One In The Dark
(words & music by Jakob Dylan)
I have grossly misinterpreted the lyrics as you will soon see. If anyone has
any idea on some of the lyrical mumbling, can you please email me. Anyway:
CAPO ON THE 2ND FRET (or play each chord a whole step up-I highly recommend
capoing, though):
Another thing is that the Bm riff is just Bm played staccato eight times, if
you know the song, you will know what I am talking about. The reason why it
does not sound like the Bm chord playing over and over is because the
bassline walks up the C# minor scale. (Remember when you play Bm with a capo
on the second fret, you are really playing C#m). Okay:
Intro: D G D G D G D G
D G
Took em high, took em straight up the hill
D G
You wanted it all, gave em such a pill
D G
Their parades, we stole every thrill
D G
In their games, we made every kill
D Daug D6 G
D G
Took em hard, took em up against the wall
D G
In their loss, you never let them fall
D G
In their flames, sailed up to the moon
D G
In their rain, they dry like firewood
D Daug
So the bottom, five beers
D6 G
As the girl might just disappear
D
Well that will be the death of me
A
The day she~s just a memory
Bm Bm-A-G Bm Bm-A-G
Bm riff
Well she turned off the lights and she opened the whites
G D
In my eyes, another one in the dark
F#m Bm
Broken all apart
A G
Just another one in the dark
A Aaug
D G
When the road rolled on like a big drum
D G
Went to the top just to bud everyone
D G
Wanted to win, tie yourself with a string, and steal everything
D G
You took em skin on skin, laid em down in the rain
D Daug
So I swear we~re a pair
D6 G
Like loneliness and a prayer
D A
No I~m not the be, may still mean me
Bm Bm-A-G Bm Bm-A-G
Bm riff
Well she turned off the lights and she opened the whites
G D
In my eyes, another one in the dark
F#m Bm
Broken from the start
A G
Just another one in the dark
A Aaug
D G D G D G D G
D G
In their nights, rayed out with the loud screen
D G
Or in their sleep, we~re all inside every dream
D Daug
So if you trying to break me
D6 G
C~mon, why don~t you shake me
D
Right out of my dream
A
The one that you and me, me...
Bm Bm-A-G Bm Bm-A-G
Woooaahhh... Heeyyyy.....
Bm riff
Well she sang out of tune when she shot down the moon
G
As I saw my arteries down on dividers
Bm riff
And I was here at the Hoot, between the cup and the loot
G
As I strut down under the lightening love
Bm riff
As she cut all the strings that I tied to her wings
G D
Leaving me... in the dark
F#m Bm
Still just be apart
A G
And she never see me at all
A Aaug
D G D G...
E A D G B E
