lyrics

In The Fading Light Jan Hauenstein

(C) (Em) (F) (C)
(F) (Cj7) (Cj7/E) (Fj7) (G) (G*) (G)
(C) In the fading (Em)light
(F) Of a fading (C)room
(F) Lies an old, old (Cj7)woman(Cj7/E)
(Fj7) In the fading (G)gloom, (G7)

(C) And her (Em)thoughts
(F) Are far a(C)way,
(F) They smile at the (Cj7)faces
(Cj7/E)Of a (Fj7) long-gone (G)day.

(G*)And (G)she (C)asks, (Fj7)
(C) “Where is that (Fj7)dress
That my (Em)great-great-great-grand(Am)father bought,
The (Fj7)one that makes me look the (G)best?”

And (G7)she (C)says,(Fj7)
(C) “Find my passport for (Fj7)me.
The (Em)Russian general is (Am)waiting
In his (Fj7)palace (Fadd9) (Fj7)by the (G)sea.”(G*) (G)

(C) But in the fading (Em)light
(F) Of a fading (C)day
(F) Lies the old, old (Cj7)woman,(Cj7/E)
(Fj7) And I hear her (G)say,

She says, “Too (Am)much,
Too (Em)long,
And I (Fj7)wish (Fadd9)
(Fj7)I were (G)gone.” (G7)
(C) (Em) (F) (C)
(F) (Cj7) (Cj7/E) (Fj7) (G) (G7)

(C) And her body (Em)fades,
(F) Joins her (C)mind,
(F) And I (Cj7)think(Cj7/E)
(Fj7) Death, come (G)soon,
And please, be (Cj7)kind,(Cj7/E)
Be (Fj7)kind,
Be (Cj7)kind. (single notes g-f on high E-string) (Cj7)

Goettingen, 07 March 2014

G*: add high A-note on high E-string
Intro, verses and instrumental verse, the Em-chord and the second C-chord:
bass notes embellished by hammering on E-note on empty D-string. You´ll hear.

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
