  • Intro: Am(V) F(VIII) Am(V) F(VIII)
    Am(V) F(VIII) Am(V) F(VIII)
    Note:
  • F(VIII) may be at 3rd fret such as this -
     
    e-5-|
  • B-6-|
    G-5-|
    D-3-|
  • A-3-|
    E-x-|
     
  • I think Mick Harvey is using application that similar
    to the one above but has difference:
     
  • e-5-|
    B-6-|
    G-5-|
  • D-7-|
    A-x-|
    E-x-|
  •  
    That one is good to use when you are playing with others
    instruments, but I recommend you to use simple F(VIII)
  • when you are playing alone.

    Am(V) F(VIII)
  • As I sat sadly by her side
    Am(V)
    At the window, through the glass
  • She stroked a kitten in her lap
    F(VIII) Am(V)
    And we watched the world as it fell past
  • F(VIII)
    Softly she spoke these words to me
    Am(V)
  • And with brand new eyes, open wide
    We pressed our faces to the glass
    F(I) G Am
  • As I sat sadly by her side
     
    She said, "Father, mother, sister, brother,
  • Uncle, aunt, nephew, niece,
    Soldier, sailor, physician, labourer,
    Actor, scientist, mechanic, priest
  • Earth and moon and sun and stars
    Planets and comets with tails blazing
    All are there forever falling
  • Falling lovely and amazing"
     
    Then she smiled and turned to me
  • And waited for me to reply
    Her hair was falling down her shoulders
    As I sat sadly by her side
  •  
    As I sat sadly by her side
    The kitten she did gently pass
  • Over to me and again we pressed
    Our different faces to the glass
    "That may be very well", I said
  • "But watch the one falling in the street
    See him gesture to his neighbours
    See him trampled beneath their feet
  • All outward motion connects to nothing
    For each is concerned with their immediate need
    Witness the man reaching up from the gutter
  • See the other one stumbling on who can not see"
     
    With trembling hand I turned toward her
  • And pushed the hair out of her eyes
    The kitten jumped back to her lap
    As I sat sadly by her side
  •  
    Then she drew the curtains down
    And said, "When will you ever learn
  • That what happens there beyond the glass
    Is simply none of your concern?
    God has given you but one heart
  • You are not a home for the hearts of your brothers
     
    And God does not care for your benevolence
  • Anymore than he cares for the lack of it in others
    Nor does he care for you to sit
    At windows in judgement of the world He created
  • While sorrows pile up around you
    Ugly, useless and over-inflated"
     
  • At which she turned her head away
    Great tears leaping from her eyes
    I could not wipe the smile from my face
  • As I sat sadly by her side
  • PLAY TOO ..
