CAROUSELAMBRA 







Progression:



 G A A G A A G A A G A A   B C#



Repeat this 8 times:



[x00231] [x02220]

  Dm/A       A



With verse:  [x33211]  [x30210]



  F/C      C

        Sisters by the wayside bide their time in quiet peace,

                await their place within the ring of calm.



  Dm/A     A

        Still stand to turn in seconds of release,

                await the call they know may never come.



 F/C       C

        In times of lightness no intruder dared upon

                to jeopardize the course, upset the run.



 Dm/A      A

        All was joy and hands were raised towards the sun,

                as love in halls of plenty overrun.



[xx0233] [xx0232]

  Dsus4      D

         Ah,  ah,  ah,  ah.



Then 4 times in the same pattern:



[113331]   [133211]

  Bb/F        F



4 times:

  Dm/A     A





  F/C      C

        Still in their bliss unchallenged mighty feast,

                unending dances shadowed on the day.



  Dm/A     A

        Within the wall their dauting formless keep,

                preserved their joy and kept their doubts at bay.



  F/C      C

        Faceless legions stood in readiness to weep,

                just turn a coin, bring order to the fray.



  Dm/A     A

        And everything is soon no sooner thought than deed,

                but no-one seemed to question anyway.



  Dsus4      D

         Ah,  ah,  ah, ah.



4 times:



       Bb/F     F



 Then the keyboard does a little roll which kinda goes like this:



   |:  A~      F G  :|  [Play it four times]



  F/C      C

        How keen the soaring hunter's eye prevails upon the land,

                to seek the unsuspecting and the weak.



  Dm/A     A

        And powerless the fabled sat, too slow to lift a hand,

                toward the foe that threatened them from the deep.



  F/C      C

        Who cares to dry the cheeks of those who saddened stand,

                adrift upon the sea of futile speech?



  Dm/A     A

        Wha??





  Dsus4      D

         Ah,  ah,  ah, ah.



4 times:



       Bb/F     F





 Then the keyboard does that little roll again:



   |:  A~      F G  :|  [Play it four times]





        The keyboard does another thing but I'll list the chords here:



   |:  F     G  Em  :|  [Play it three times]



   |:  A~      F G  :|  [two times]



   |:  F     G  Em  :|  [Play it three times]



   |:  A~      F G  :|  [two times]



   |:  F     G  Em  :|  [Play it three times]

[Riff 2] x2



[Riff 2] with lyrics:



        Where was your word, where did you go?

        Where was your helping, where was your bow? Bow.



[Riff 1] x1



[Riff 2] w/ lyrics:



        Dull is the armour, cold is the day.

        Hard was your journey, dark was the way. Way.



[Riff 1] x1



[Riff 2] w/ lyrics:



        I heard the word, I couldn't stay, oh.

        I couldn't stand it another day. Another day, ay, another day,

        Another day.



Keyboard bangs out an A chord, then it plays a G for four measures [final

key switch to G], then A again for four measures.



 Play G:

        Touched by the timely coming, roused from the keeper's sleep,

 Play A:

        release the grip, throw down the key.

 Play D:

        Held now within the knowing, rest now within the peace,

 Play A:

        Take of the fruit, but guard the seed.



 Play D for four measures, then:



            [x04442]

   |:   A A   B/A~   :|   [Play this four times]



 Play G for four measures, then A for four measures.



 Play G:

        Held now within the knowing, rest now within the beat,

        take of the fruit but guard the seed.



 Play D for four measures, then:



 Play A:

        Take of the fruit but guard the seed.



 Play D for four measures, then:



      |:   A A   B/A~   :|   [Play this three times]



Repeat until fadeout:

                       [x05553]

      |:   A A   B/A~    C/A  B/A  :|
