The Telescreen - Feather Clever

      The Telescreen – Feather Clever
Simplified version of the song, should be good enough for an acoustic cover.
I did add a strumming pattern, which mostly corresponds to the second verse.
However, just listen to the song and you'll figure it out.

Enjoy!


[Intro]

B Em

[Verse 1]
  B
I never thought I would be this clever,
    Em
but desperate times call for desperate measures.
  B
I got some glue, filled my arms with feathers
  Em
and jumped off the roof of my house.

  B
I met this man in an abandoned cellar,
          Em 
with some worn out shoes, made of battered leather.
        B
Said he knew a thing or two about the weather.
        Em
Then he told me this was a show.


[Pre-chorus]
               C           Am
He said you’ve got no imagination
              B               Em
to choose the oldest known fixation.
        B                           Em
Then he sellotaped his own eyes shut,
           
to keep the darkness in.

B

Em

[Chorus 1]
                C
It’s gonna be alright,
                Am
It’s gonna be alright,
                B
Just close your eyes,
                     Em
You’re gonna be just fine.
  C             
I never meant to hurt you mother.
     Am
I forgot to say “see ya” to my brother.

B

Em


[Verse 2]
B
Ring a Ring o’ Roses,
    Em
the dark side of the Earth creeps.
    B
The Sun is just a showpiece,
    Em
the harvest that the dope eats.

      B
We’re dancing to a broke beat,
   Em
so Bangkok feels our toes and feet.
    B
Our ankles stomping blown leaves,
   Em
is far enough from holy.

[Pre-chorus]
        C                      Am                      B
And I’m not looking forward to having no consciousness,
                   Em
but I’ll give it a go.

B

Em


[Chorus 2]
              C
It’s gonna be alright,
              Am
It’s gonna be alright,
                B
Just close your eyes,
                     Em
You’re gonna be just fine.

  C              
I never meant to hurt you mother,
  Am                                   B
I forgot to say “see ya” to my brother again.

Em
