01 Nothing But the Truth
Brooker / Reid
Is it on, Tommy? (don't know if the chords are right in the intro but the bassnotes are
might be some misshearings about minor or major, sometimes it sounds best to play
without a 3rd.)

We saw it in a dream

turned mouldy down the years

Intro
middle8
D(m)
Like Icarus we flew too high
Bb C G
We flew too near the sun
D(m)
They caught us in that awful glare
Bb C G
Our hapless throats were strung
C D C D
But just before the final stroke
C G C G
They took us victims of the rope
C D C D
And cast us far beyond the deep
C G C G
To lie in never ending sleep
Intro
verse
It seems as clear as yesterday
They cast us in the deep
We lie in darkest night for good
Never ending sleep
A never ending bitter gloom
Whose darkness seldom clears
A God forsaken emptiness
Which fills our hearts with tears
Chorus
Intro
End on A Major
