THE SEED OF A LIE
basicj <basicj@garynumanfan.nu>

This is one of my favourite tracks.  I've worked out most of the parts, there's room for some ad lib as far as the melody's concerned.  If you want a drum track, it's good at about 84 bpm.  Enjoy!

Intro: D A# C A (twice)
Lead in bass synth: A# F D# D (also plays during the bridge and outro)
Bass synth on verse/chorus: F C G D

Chords during second chorus:
Fsus4 (F A# C)
F     (F A C)
Csus4 (C F G)

D   E F     E  D   C    D   E   D
I'm a ghost in the dark and I'm yours.
I belong in the past and I'm yours.
          A#         C              A         F    
Like a song you forget, and I'm yours.
Like a dream in the night, and I'm yours.

C   E     D     (A#)
The wrong place?
C   E     C    (A) 
The wrong time?
E C     G    (G)
I don't know.
The wrong face?
Yours or mine?
I don't know.

Like a tear when you sleep, I'll be yours.
Like a scar that won't fade, I'll be yours.
Like a pain in the cold, I'll be yours.
Like a fear in the heart, I'll be yours.


             F E C              F E C
The wrong word     when you cry
        F E C G E C
I will be
Like the seed of a lie
I will be
             Fsus4      F
Like the germ of disease
         Csus4
I will be
Like the last one who cared
I will be

(backing: A#, F, D#, D):

A#   A    F   G
Like your shadow
A# A   F     F
I will haunt you
A# A   F G  A#
Do you remember?
A# A   F  F
I said to you
F     D# D D   C


(backing: G#, G, D#, D):

'Love is a mountain
    D# D   A# A#
But harder to climb.
   F      D# D  D C
It should be forever
    D#   D  A# A#
But love is unkind
To me.


D A# C A
                  D# A# D G
Don't let me down.

And you let me down.

(end on D#)
