So he says - Henry Ate
This is another wonderful slow song from Henry Ate?s/Karma?s debut album ?Slap in the face?. The whole
is played in a nice, smooth fingerpicking style, all in style with the smooth setting of the song. In
with a wonderful style of intertwingeld (is that an Englsh word?) voices of Karma & Julian, it combines to a very neat song.
Once you mastered the playing, you should invite a friend in order to master and sing both voicings!
If you are interested into more of these close harmony styles, I?d suggest the works of Crosby, Stills & Nash.
The Em chord is played like this (open strings!): sixth - second - first
So you actually don?t have to use your left hand with this chord!
The Em/D is played almost like the Em: fourth - second - first.
The D/B is played like this: first string: second fret
second string: third fret
third string: open
fifth string: second fret
[Intro]
Loses his mind to thought
()
Picking up pieces pictures that stare lie scattered in his head
Touches his brow and liberty strikes him dead
()
Last weeks papers reads just like yesterdays news
Sits at the table, shoots from the hip
Stares at the ceiling losing his grip but now ?
Caught in lost state, fighting for air
He understands, so he says
Silence provokes him, noise is his safety
He hides from the corner and cries
Resorts to his reading, tapping his desk
Shoots from the hip and smiles
Caught in a lost state, fighting for air
He understands, so he says
so he says
[Chorus]
He?s on the up and up
Falling fast ?cause she?s not coming back
He understood and waves goodbye
Reality just spat on his desires
He understands
He?s losing his mind again
Pity the day to sleep
Closes his eyes, wishes his death, the angels smile
He?s not saying to much these days
Relies on his eyes to convey the story of his mind
Sits on the table, drunk of his tears
Thinking about the time he gave into his fears but now ?
Caught in a lost lane fighting for air
He understands, so he says
Losing his mind again
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
It?s all too real now
But it?s coming over him
It?s all too real now
But he?ll take it any - way
He understands and says
[Chorus]
[Outro]
?.
So he says (So he says)
Caught in a lost state
