george - Breaking It Slowly
From the album 'Polyserena'

Okay, this is the tabbing for the acoustic guitar part...
I like to play bar chords in the chorus, especially when the
chords change quickly, but you do what you want. :)
The only thing I'll add is that the E/G# chord sounds best
as a bar chord, i.e.:
e :--4--
B :--5--
G :--4--
D :--6--
A :--7--
E :--4--
Go nuts.
Email me for comments/criticisms.
Cheers!

{VERSE 1}
Fmaj7
You know how it feels
Cmaj7
to roll away like a stone
Fmaj7
And sing like a dove
Cmaj7
that's found it's way home
Fmaj7
The filth on the ground
Cmaj7
or washed up on the shore
Fmaj7
We try where they've failed
Cmaj7
but they'll reap what the sow
{CHORUS}
E F G
Ohhh... And it's the passion we feel
Am
as we run through life
E F G
Ohhh... I hope a time will come
E/G#
When they realise
Am C F#m
What they've done
F E/G# Am C F#m
THey're shakin' it, breakin it slowly
F E/G#
Shakin' it, breakin' it slowly...

{VERSE 2}
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
The lone CEO, chosen for his worth
fmaj7
To build cash-tiled walls
Cmaj7
Above the smoke-stacked sky
{CHORUS}
Am E Am F
Slowly.....
{BRIDGE}
Cmaj7 E Am
But what if you never drew your breath
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
On a warm sun-filled day
E
or caught all your dreams, in a season of
Am Fm G
tranquility, tranquility, tranquility
{CHORUS (a couple of times or so)}
