Tabs by Miguel A. Dominguez

Miguel says:

I've made a tablature such as Roddy plays. If you don't want so many variations just play the basic chords below (A-Amaj7-F#m). On pre-chorus there is a short riff during E7/4--E7: (to get it play the 5th string at 4th fret just before E7/4 and E7).


Use capo at 1st fret

Verse 1:

Amaj7 ------------ F#m7/4 - Amaj7 ------ F#m7/4
Laser guns are set to stun, sabres inter-lace

--- Amaj7 --------- F#m7/4 ---------- Amaj7 --------- F#m7/4
And try to numb the one who shuns the world for inner space

--- E7/4 ----------- E7 ------ E7/4 ---------- E7 ---
And nothing comes be-tween the sadness and the screen

E7/4 ------------- E7 - E7/4 ----------- E7 --
Exploding rooms of pain   dematerialise again

--- Amaj7 -------------- F#m7/4 --------- Amaj7 ----- F#m7/4
And go-go bars fill with showbiz stars on Fridays set aflame

---- Amaj7 ------------ F#m7/4 ---------- Amaj7 -------- F#m7/4
With crashing cars, sun-burst guitars, am-phetamines and fame

--- E7/4 ------------ E7 --- E7/4 ----- E7 --
And crawling from the smash, aliens all slain

- E7/4 --------------- E7 --
A beam of light then a flash

E7/4 -------------------- E7 ------------------------ F#m -
Lifts you up to where you know that you can choose to never

------- F ----------- E7/4 -- E7
have to feel that way again



Chorus:

A - A/9 ---------------------- F#m7 ----- E -------------- A -- A/9
    Rushing through the stars, captivated by the worlds be-yond

F#m7 -- E -----
So far, unknown

A - A/9 -------------- F#m7 ------------ E --------- A - A/9
    Floating in a car, past the gates of mustdestroy.com

F#m7 ----- E ---
You aren't alone

------ D/9 ----------- E7 --------> INTRO
It's a small world and you've grown



Verse 2:

Amaj7(*) ------ F#m(*)
I don't want to wait

- Amaj7(*) --------- F#m(*)
I want the world to turn

Amaj7(*) ------------------ F#m(*)
And the clocks to whirl and race

---- Amaj7(*) ---- F#m(*)
'Til my girl is re-turned

E7/4 --------- E7 - E7/4 ---------- E7
Rushed into my arms at the speed of light

E7/4--------------- E7 -
Delivered safe from harm

E7/4 -------------------- F#m ----------------- F ----------- E7/4 - E7 
Knowing that she'll never have to feel that the night is hers alone



A - A/9 ---------------------- F#m7 ----- E -------------- A -- A/9
    Rushing through the stars, captivated by the worlds be-yond

F#m7 -- E -----
So far, unknown

A - A/9 -------------- F#m7 ------------ E --------- A - A/9
    Floating in a car, past the gates of mustdestroy.com

F#m7 ----- E ---
You aren't alone

------ D/9 ------------------ E7 - A
It's a small world and you've gro--wn
